Contributions

Real-time multimedia communications and VoIP

I have been actively working to enable real-time communications (VoIP, video and IM) using free software. Making such free solutions as easy to deploy as possible, by packaging them for the major Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora.

  • As an upstream developer, I have put significant effort in to making reSIProcate suitable for packaging in Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, including a complete overhaul of the build system (it now uses autotools) reSIProcate on launchpad

  • Documenting how real-time multimedia communications can be implemented on major Linux distributions, including Ubuntu, on the Real-time communications (RTC) quick start guide

  • I have updated VoIP information on the Ubuntu wiki to integrate with the current state of these projects

Financial software

Much of my professional experience is in financial services, with a focus on front office trading and connectivity solutions.

I have been active in packaging some of the leading open source financial software products, including:

  • OpenMAMA, the real-time messaging and market price data distribution system open-sourced by NYSE

  • PostBooks, a comprehensive small business accounting, CRM and ERP solution with a multi-user Qt-based GUI, using PostgreSQL as the backend

Other projects

Please see this page for a more detailed overview of the free software projects I contribute to across a range of platforms, including Debian and Fedora

Future Goals

Improving interoperability of real-time communications software on all the major Linux distributions.

Making WebRTC work successfully on Linux, both on servers and desktops. For example, extending the DruCall module for Drupal and making it fully installable with apt-get.
