Hi all,
Just curious. Among all the emails about _using_ OSS, how many people here _produce_ OSS?
I'll hold my hand up -- bibliography management systems etc. at www.sourceforge.net/projects/wikindx and www.sourceforge.net/projects/bibliophile
Some of the highlights of things I work on: * undernet's irc daemon as a comaintainer http://coder-com.undernet.org * Some other bits and pieces related to IRC: http://sf.net/projects/gnuworld http://www.rage-irc.com/ * WANd (Wide Area Network Daemon, not the Waikato network research group, well, I work for them too, but they're not an open source project, uh you know what I mean anyway) http://wand.sf.net (while wand isn't well used these days, parts of it such as it's libconfig is used in several other projects esp within the WAND research group, and the firewall I wrote to deal with it appears to be widely used within WAND) * Traceroute mesh software http://tr.meta.net.nz/ although I don't advertise that it's available for download, but when people have asked in the past I have given away copies of all the source for this (including the server) under the GPL. * I supply patches to various other projects as I need them eg: http://coders.meta.net.nz/~perry/patches/ipv6-source-selection-2.6.5.patch http://coders.meta.net.nz/~perry/patches/gtk+-move-displays.diff I have some patches I'm working on right now for mozilla to support server name identification for TLS, and some patches for bittorrent to support better peer selection, but of which aren't ready for use yet. I also have a long string of random little projects of things I'm interested in that have never been released mostly because noone has shown any interest in them. I've also written some software in the distant past which is more or less dead now that you sometimes run into such as ipt, FTNManager etc. This is by no means exhaustive, but covers most of the either the large things, or the current things I'm working on. Also, I occasionally sleep.
