I’ve been involved with Free Software for a number of years now either through advocacy or development. Whilst my contributions are arguably not large I do enjoy working in a Free Software environment and I watch several projects with interest. Here are a few projects I currently have my eye on
- iFolder – A cross-platform application that integrates well with the Gnome desktop environment to allow easy file sharing amongst a collaboration group.
- Hula – An online colaboration tool designed with a low barrier to entry.
- Pitivi – A non-linear video editor.
- Linux desktop 3d improvements – A collection of technologies that improve the look and feel of the Linux desktop
- and lastly Dashboard – My information at my fingertips.
All of these technologies are in development and all are not ready for the prime-time yet, but they’re cool. I hope to go into a little more depth on each over the next few days….or maybe I’ll do something else
The dashboard website, and weblog hasn’t been updated since 2003. Is it still actually in development?
Yes but I think they’re concentrating on beagle at the moment. Beagle turned out to be the solution to most of the problem and Dashboard is just a nice UI on top of it. To quote jonp from #mono “Dashboard needs to be migrated to Beagle, once beagle is stable”.
