Projects I have contributed to

GnuPG The GNU Privacy Guard (my key)

SANE Scanner Access Now Easy (my patches to 1.0.4 have been incorporated as of 1.0.5)

BincIMAP a new light-weight, secure fully RFC2060 compliant IMAP4rev1 server.

Here are some of my patches

• open2fopen-1.0.24 - this patch renames the mdepot::Maildir::open method to fopen to more accurately reflect the fact that it returns a c stream.
• configs-1.0.24 - Enables setgid/setuid to be toggled off in the config file and logger=stderr.
• io-1.0.24 - Fixes a minor bug in the IO class when reading non-ssl input.
• copyA-1.0.24 - This is the first half of my rewrite of the copy command. The copy into tmp/ has been rewritten, the link code is still waiting.
  (requires open2fopen-1.0.24 be applied as well)
