projects
I'm currently involved with a handful of projects, in and out of academia.
- OpenStreetMap
- OpenStreetMap is a project to map the whole world using user generated GPS tracks and offer the data to the world under a Creative Commons license. The project has a comprehensive map of the UK and is in many cases more accurate than commercial mapping data.
- Fetegeo
- Fetegeo is an open source geocoder (similar to the search function in Google Maps) which I am developing for my Final Year Project to incorporate the Open Street Map dataset and make other improvements. During this period I'm maintaining my own development branch of Fetegeo at http://fetegeo.phoenixdev.co.uk/.
- ScarletDME
- ScarletDME is an open source multivalue database licensed under GPLv2. I help administer the server, maintain the community and occasionally commit code.
- Open Rights Group
- The Open Rights Group focuses on protecting peoples privacy and digital rights in the UK. Current campaigns include preventing the deployment of Phorm, stopping the Digital Economy Bill from passing with the current disconnection clauses and the prevention of mass surveillance being performed by the government. I'm involved with the Open Rights Group in my capacity as a general campaigner and a volunteer system administrator.
