What is this wiki about?

This wiki should be a very simple way for me to publish information about some of my spare time activities. The most important activity providing content for these pages is the maintenance of a few open source projects. I'm also contributing to other projects that may have earned a link or a short abstract in this wiki.

Open Source Projects

• Package/pynotifier: a generic event scheduler providing one own implementation and adaption code for GTK+ und QT

• Package/pymbus: a python implementation of the Message Bus (Mbus, RFC 3259, http://www.mbus.org) and the Internet Draft The Mbus Guidelines

• Package/gmbus: a quite new C implementation of Mbus based in glib (http://www.gtk.org/)

• GEX: a small Desktop Environment for the X window system.

Mbus - The Message Bus

I'm working on a [Mbus] profile for desktop applications to create a dynamic, extensible and flexible desktop environment.

• The second generation of GEX is meant to be an example implementation for the Mbus desktop application profile.

• Mbus/DesktopProfile defines the address schema and the Mbus commands of several pre-defined entity roles of the desktop profile
