Projects
I'm more or less involved in the following projects or activities.stowES is a cross platform package management tool, based on stow. It helps me to management package installation similarly on several *nix-style platforms.
minicom is a terminal program.
GRUB is a multiboot boot loader. I'm maintaining a patch for GRUB1 that adds some useful features to it, like variables in the configuration language and a universal PXE network driver that works with any recent network card.
Debian is a free and package-rich operating system. I am maintaining one of the top german and european mirrors and helping out in the european mirror administration. Some software and projects were created for that:
- DMS is a collection of scripts for mirroring the Debian package repository. It supports features essential for the Debian mirror network to work, like push mirroring, archive checking and more.
- DMC checks all registered Debian mirrors for their current status and displays the hierarchy of mirrors and up-to-date information.
Pogoplug is an interesting ARM based system.
TUD·OS is a research operating system project at TU Dresden. It is microkernel-based and allows to build real-time and security applications on top of it, as well as to try out new ideas in the field of operating systems. This project has many different subprojects and I am involved in some of them with different degrees. I am currently filling out the lead positions in the L4Linux and L4Re fields. Furthermore I'm doing work in the ARM/embedded area.
