The following were spun off from internal LS projects. The copyrights were signed over to me and I have the signed and dated agreements on file if you need proof: * http://www.alittletooquiet.net/software/bootboot/ * http://www.alittletooquiet.net/software/pytasks/ * http://www.alittletooquiet.net/software/taskui/ This is LS copyrighted GPL code: * https://code.launchpad.net/rebar There is other code that is currently internal-only, but is likely to see GPL release at some point. I'm not currently able to provide details. We have a PPA where we've provided some Ubuntu packages that are mostly useful internally, but might also be useful to others: * https://launchpad.net/~logicsupply/+archive/ppa We wrote a DHL module for osCommerce and uploaded it to the community contributions website. I'm not able to locate it at this time (we have the code here, of course, but it has since been forked and is no longer compatible with osC). I published a patch for MediaWiki implementing rudimentary support for TinyMCE. You can see that here: * http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/TinyMCE You can see here that I sent a patch to the newt developers. This was for a company project and was done on company time: * https://fedorahosted.org/newt/browser/newt.spec And here, a patch for the Ubuntu memtest86+ package: * https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/memtest86+/+bug/175720 There are probably others that I've forgotten. Google "forest bond" with "patch", and maybe you'll find some. I've also filed many bug reports and worked with developers to fix them on company time (Linux, Ubuntu, and Django come to mind, but I'm sure there were other projects, too). We publish test results and work arounds for running Ubuntu on LS hardware: * http://www.logicsupply.com/faq?faq1=23&faq2=145 We've been pre-installing Ubuntu on select systems since March of 2008, but were providing support on Linux since well before that. Our blog has on several occasions played host to Linux-related howto documentation. You'll note my recent post on creating read-only Linux systems. * http://www.logicsupply.com/blog/category/linux/ We've been offering m0n0wall, a FreeBSD-based firewall solution, pre-installed on our hardware since, oh, 2006 probably, and have donated cash to the project. * http://www.logicsupply.com/categories/firewall_systems Additionally, we work with our upstream hardware vendors to provide better support for Linux on their hardware. We try to pressure them, when appropriate, to work with the open-source community. I like to think that some of that effort has resulted in improvements, but it's hard to say. Our technical staff has been provided Ubuntu training. I personally have provided support for Linux on our hardware that goes above and beyond what would be expected from most vendors. We also employ a few software developers apart from myself that spend their work days dealing almost exclusively with open-source technologies, and are happy to do so. They are treated well and encouraged to work with the open-source community. They file bug reports and participate on mailing lists. And Logic Supply has treated me very well for more than three years now, over the course of which I've written some open-source code of my own: * http://www.pytagsfs.org * http://www.logq.org * http://www.alittletooquiet.net/software And contributed to a variety of open-source projects, including: * Ubuntu * GnuCash * mhWaveEdit * bzr * moosic * Django So please, Paul, tell me. Where is *your* code? -Forest -- Forest Bond http://www.alittletooquiet.net http://www.pytagsfs.org
