Major Projects
Japhar - The Hungry Programmers Java Virtual MachineI'm one of the current maintainers of a multi-platform Open Source implementation of SUN's Java. It currently runs on Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris and Irix. It is written in C (and a little bit C++), and supports native threads, Java Native Interface and Netscape/Mozilla Open Java Interface.
GIGS - Generic Internet Games Service
I'm one of two designers and maintainers of a Internet games metaserver project. We want to ease the task of discovering available game servers for any game on the Internet, and have designed a distributed network of gigs-servers where game servers can report their presence, and game clients can query the closest gigs-server to get a list of running game servers.
Skolelinux - Linux for primary schools
I am the system architect and lead developer of the project. The project was initiated in 2001 by me and a few others. We want to make free software more available for the primary schools in Norway, and are making a turn-key installation for the school networks, with all the services and desktop applications needed in schools, with the user programs available in Norwegian Bokmål, Nynorsk and Nothern Saami.
