Jokosher
Included in my resume is a section on my duties as a member of the Jokosher Project. Since I have devoted so much time and effort to this project, and many people on the internet know me exclusively through Jokosher related activites, I feel some supplemental links are warranted:
Jokosher Project Homepage: Here you will find information about the project, screenshots, as well various community links such as the forums.
Jokosher Development Site: This is central point of our online collaboration. The development site includes the SVN repository displaying all of the changes made by each member, a wiki with technical and end user documentation, and planning documents.
Jokosher Launchpad Page: Launchpad is an open source development site with many free tools to help open source projects work together and track their progress. The Jokosher Project uses Launchpad for bug management, specifications, and translations.
Linux Action Show! Interview: In December of 2006 myself and another Jokosher Project contributor spoke about the project on the Linux Action Show! podcast.
LinuxWorld Podcast Interview: A twelve minute audio interview from June 2008. I talk about the code which makes Jokosher work as well as some plans for upcoming releases.
GNOMEDesktop.org Interview: In November of 2008 I was interviewed by Christian Schaller of the GStreamer project about my work on Jokosher.
Other Projects
Adventure Money: An open source application I wrote to quickly determine how much my university roommates owe me when we all share food, rent, and utilities. The interface, 100% of the code and the original idea are all entirely my creation. It will run on any platform that supports Python and the GTK+ widget toolkit.
Tigla: A simple application which allows you to play guitar chords on your computer. This project was originally started my a friend of mine, and is still in the early stages. I ported the application from Python to C when we needed it to run on low-memory portable devices. This project also serves as a playground to test out new code in multiple languages that use GTK+ widgets and Gstreamer for audio.
Pidgin HTTP Bug: The popular Linux/GTK+ MSN client was dropping connections when attempting to chat over HTTP. Since I needed to contact co-workers on MSN and my workplace does not have any ports open except HTTP, I spent an evening researching the MSN protocol and figuring out why this bug occurred. After a few hours of looking at IP captures from Wireshark, I realized the problem. I send a small patch and now newer versions of Pidgin work from being HTTP-only firewalls. There are more details on my blog entry.
