Projects

Foswiki

I'm a part of the Foswiki community that were forced to fork away from TWiki through the actions of Peter and his startup. While Peter says 'all we have to do is agree to the new terms&conditions' we do not feel we can agree to terms that reduce our work to a marketing exercise for his company, and we don't agree that his startup can sell our user information.

Foswiki is already a larger project than TWiki was, with more active developers, and more changes and fixes. Over the next year, we are driving it to become not only the leading Enterprise wiki engine, but also the most attractive.

TWikiProject

I'm was a TWiki:Codev.CoreTeam member, and was working on integrating some of the many patches that people have given us. I'm also working towards simplifying upgrades, and security.

I'm playing with turning my twiki into a Blog

• http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Main/SvenDowideit
• http://twiki.org/awstats/awstats.pl

• http://bandwidth.ev1servers.net/RSbw6.cgi?cfg=98_162.cfg&log=66.98.162.248_10 (the svn and develop server)

Debian package for TWiki

I have been involved in the http://TWiki.org project for some time, and when I tossed Redhat for Debian I found that the debian package had not been updated in a while. I have since become the package maintainer for the twiki debian package. More details can be found at TWiki:Codev.TwikiOnDebian.

PowerTweak

in 2003 I was looking for a utility to help me track and resolve why my notebook was never allowing my hard-drive to stay suspended. http://powertweak.sf.net seems to me to be a greate (but somewhat dead) project that allows the user to view low-level hardware and kernel configurations details, and even to tweak those values. I am now a powertweak developer (though distracted by my TWikiProject work) and want to add the following

Hobbies

BikeStuff

Before Sepember 2004 I had a sweet 1999 trek 950, steel frame

Afterwards I now have a 2003 LaPierre? 360 Hardtail

Bloody Lufthansa lost my bike in transit between Singapore and Paris on our way to tour the Loire - so I bought a new bike in Fontainbleau - Thanks to ColasNahaboo?, CrawfordCurrie?, MartinCleaver?, and of course Pammy for helping me (yes, they were all there )

FishStuff

We're starting our fishtanks new, so i've got to cycle the tank - I guess that means some simple hardy fish first

Before we put all our stuff into storage and went to Zurich for 6 months

Catfish are fun, I seem to have 50 to 100 little baby bronze cories.

ClimbingStuff

I've been climbing indoors since 1997/8 , and bouldering around North Sydney since 2000. In 2004 Crawford and I went bouldering in Fontainbleau.
