Free Software Projects

Various intented, completed and uncompleted work. I have funding for the:

• Impositor PDF Editor
• PDF Utils

Currently these need finishing off:

• Sod SSH-over-DNS tunnelling (people are specifically asking for UDP only for use with openvpn)
• acrdisk ThinkPad R30/R31 Hibernation partition software
• Dew-Pond: Double-keyboard XTEST single-handed typing remapper thing
• pstosvg: PDF/PostScript to SVG converter---done except for dashed line and none-flatterned text import
• usplash: Userspace Splash / Ubuntu Splash / MicroSplash. (Mad Phat Startup, pwettiness)!

These haven't really been started and need lots of work:

• Parallel Port (parport) RS-232 bit-banging driver (eg, for laptops)
• Belleville Linux/Unix Rail/Eurostar simulator (BVE-compatible)
• dw-i / Install Debian K-I-S-S base installer
• Porting Linux (POSIX) to userspace on SymbianOS.
• Triple boot: Bootable Hybrid CD/DVD containing ppc, x86 and amd64 with yaboot+grub
• autotrace upgrades: more intelligent tracing with support for both solid and centerline in the same image

I am after 50% funding to complete some of these on the basis that they will be released as Free Software under the GNU GPL.

• Better SecurID PAM module (token appended to password)
• vserver partitioning environment + management suite
• mboxsync (rsync style, SSH/RSH version of mailsync), with Message-ID + MD5

Back to the rest of Paul Sladen.
