 (h1 [Projects])

 (p [Here is a list of some of the projects that I’m involved with that
     actually might be useful to others.])


 (h2 [Hacking the Wavedrum])

 (p [I wrote a ,(ref "/tags/wavedrum.html" "series of blog posts") in
     which I document my efforts to understand and possibly manipulate
     the firmware of Korg’s Wavedrum.  The PCB is easily accessible
     and exposes big connector pads as well as a microSD card—an
     invitation to play with the hardware.])

 (p [The ,(ref "/wavedrum/index.html" "project page") is the best
     place to get an overview and to see the current status.  It
     contains links to the sources of any software artifacts I create
     in the process.])


 (h2 [GNU Guix])

 (p [,(ref "http://gnu.org/s/guix" "GNU Guix") is a novel package
     manager for ,(ref "http://gnu.org" "GNU systems").  In Guix a
     package is treated as a pure function whose output is fully
     described by its inputs (its dependencies).  I’m packaging lots
     of bioinformatics software when I’m in the office and audio tools
     when I’m off work.])

 (p [The Guix package manager forms the foundation of the Guix System
     Distribution (short: GuixSD), which is the GNU system I use on my
     laptop.])


 (h2 [Libertree])

 (p [,(ref "http://libertree.org" "Libertree") is a collection of
     software to build social networks.  The core components include a
     web frontend application and an XMPP backend component that will
     work with any regular XMPP server.])

 (figure "/images/libertree-logo.png" "The Libertree logo")

 (p [I was one of two core developers for about three years and hosted
     the second public node.  The network isn’t very active and
     development has slowed considerably.  I’m no longer interested in
     traditional www-based social networking applications and am
     thinking about using ,(ref "http://gnunet.org" "Gnunet") for
     pseudonymous social networking purposes.])


 (h2 [SoundCLI])

 (p [,(ref "/soundcli.html" "SoundCLI") is a SoundCloud client for the
     console.  Check out the ,(ref "/soundcli.html" "project page")
     for more information.])


 (h2 [LV2 plugins])

 (p [I have ported two VST instruments to the LV2 plugin framework,
     because I missed them after my move to GNU/Linux.])
