Don't forget Mark Talluto's handy mmGen, now and open source  project at:

Thanks for mentioning that Richard. I have been thinking that I should change the license on that project so one can do *anything* they want with the code. Not sure if that will make up for my serious inability to work on that project at the moment.

Hard to say. Not-for-profit ventures like open source projects are often strapped for labor. I expect it'll remain that way until the "gift economy" expands to include open source housing and open source groceries. :)

But I did think it was worth mentioning here because there are always a few folks looking to dig into something fun, and that project's scope is contained enough to make it a good thing to contribute to occassionally.

And of course for the speakers going to RevCon it can be handy to use for making their presentations. :)

And for newcomers who just want to poke around to see how a really experienced developer puts together a functional product, this is one of the few products that are open source and it's a treasure trove of good learning material.

I don't know if making that open source has simplified your life or complicated it (OS projects can go either way), but if the community isn't yet really glad you made the move I think they will be as they play with it more. Thanks for putting that out there.
