So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit... issues... I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

I am the owner of repository called swizzin -- it's a collection of shell scripts aimed primarily at installing applications in the "seedbox" category on Debian and Ubuntu servers.

It's not a particularly glamorous project, being written in the majority of bash, but over the 8 years of me maintaining this script and keeping up with the intricacies of linux, my skills as a Linux Sysadmin went from amateur hobbyist to self-employed-entrepreneur to gainfully-employed. It's been a crazy ride altogether and never would have imagined that starting to work on a hobbyist project could have landed me an actual career.
