Major Projects

Japhar - The Hungry Programmers Java Virtual Machine

I'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.

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.

Translating and publishing Creative Commons books

I've so far translated and published five books Creative Commons licensed books, and curated and published a Creative Commons licensed dictionary database as three dictionaries.
