Re: [Scottish] Open Source Business
Hi Peter, Quoting Peter George [EMAIL PROTECTED]: I'm curious as to wether any other members are working with open source software companies in Scotland. You may find universities contain most people creating open source. Although I am, regretfully, no longer involved, I used to work for the Institute for Astronomy in Edinburgh on a multi-university project called AstroGrid: http://www.astrogrid.org Our source was always publicly available so it probably still is.

Sometimes submit other kernel patches, usually related to sparc32 or ppc architectures or audio-related stuff. Am a member of liblo SF project (Lite OSC (Open SoundControl)), and own liboscqs on SF. Other apps I fix as needed. Usually this is endian-ness stuff. cloak -- Martin --- 30 years from now GNU/Linux will be as redundant a term as MERT/UNIX is today. - Martin Habets --- ___ Scottish mailing list Scottish@mailman.lug.org.uk http://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/scottish

I'm not a programmer in any way, but I founded the EpsonEPL project, which has brought Linux support for a variety of Epson EPL printers that were previously Windows only. 99.999% of credit should go to the fantastic programmers in various parts of the world that put in the time to reverse engineer the USB protocol though.

I think it's kind of nice when someone else fixes your bugs for you. And when I've fixed something I usually tell the developers about it. There are a few people whom are involved in some major OS projects - I'll let them speak for themselves though.
