  That aside, it would be interesting to hear who's doing what anyway.
 
  lo pete,
 
  what about companies who use or run on open source software? :)

 Hullo William,

 I was primarily curious to hear about others who are actively
 involved in creating open source software, running Sourceforge
 projects etc.

 I expect that there are absolutely loads of companies using it, but
 who's creating it in Scotland?


I'm part of the team developing the Maypole web app framework. I'd be very
interested in an event like this.

http://maypole.perl.org for more info.

Cheers,

d.

Well, off the top of my head, jriddell is Mister Kubuntu, I am still
very much a part of SmoothWall and I'm helping out with the nessus GPL
fork OpenVAS, and I'm sure there are others out there ... lurking
silently in the dark :)

I am working on a couple of DSSI plugins, based on xsynth-dssi.  There are
a couple of very good soft synths for Linux, but more are always
welcome...

 Hullo David,

 Maypole looks really interesting, I shall have to dig into that a bit
 more.

 I'll certainly keep you posted on the event. Do you know if you guys
 are ScotlandIS members?



No, we're mostly independent contractors rather than software businesses per
se.

 lo pete,


I think several people wo have contributed fixes back to projects. 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.

I've spat out a few OS packages - currently I'm working on a viual forms 
development tool for PHP (http://pfp-studio.sourceforge.net)
