I try to dedicate a random amount of time/effort to several open source projects.

FreeBSD

Since 2005, I've been using FreeBSD as my primary OS, for pretty much everything.

While not assisting newer users, I:

  • Develop an EtherLike-MIB module for the BSNMP daemon, a light-weight SNMP implementation which is included in the base distribution. You can check its official wiki for more information.

  • Submit random patches through the problem report (PR) interface, official lists, or directly to the maintainers. Some are good, some don't.

GoboLinux

Although I am listed as an official contributor/developer, I have not been doing anything lately. Shame on me.

There are some topics I plan to work on:

  • Firewalling.

  • Automatic handling of events (mostly ACPI).

  • Documentation of GoboLinux-specific features.

Ecere SDK

Ecere is not yet open source, but it's on its way to. I'm currently helping with the bootstrap process, so that it can be ported to different platforms in an easier way.

I'm interested in many specific parts:

  • Bootstrap.

  • Backend tools (pre-processor, eC compiler, …).

  • API documentation.

  • Ecere Communicator (IM client).

Ramon

Ramon is a free and open implementation of the RMON2 MIB. It is hosted at Savannah. Due lack of time, its development is somewhat stuck, with lots and huge architectural redesigns planned.
