Projects

I dedicate a small part of my life to open source software. Following is a list of projects I have worked on:

exp4j

exp4j is a small java library for parsing mathematical expressions. I have created and maintained this project for 8 years, but I’m looking for someone to take over from me, since I do not have the time this projects deserves.

crumbs

crumbs is a bookmarking system for a bash like terminal emulation written in C. It allows you to store command invocations in a hierarchical namespace.

fedora commons

The Fedora Commons Repository is a distributed repository software, that allows you to store data and enrich it with metadata in a semantic graph.

Scape

Scape stands for SCAlable Preservation Environment. This project was funded by a European Union Research programme in order to create a distributed platform for storing arbitrary data, ernich it with standardized metadata and provide various tasks around data preservation.

The Linux Kernel

Lately I’ve gotten into Linux Kernel development in order to grow as a C Developer. I am convinced there’s a lot to learn from such a large and knowledgable community and I am determined to take on the challenge.
