Title
Anything contributing to a free/open source software project
Goal
Make a meaningful code contribution to an existing FOSS project
Description
I have 20+ years experience in running and contributing to free/open source software projects. If you have an idea for a project in any area that will make a substantial code contribution to an existing FOSS project, I'd potentially be interested in supervising it - I can advise on FOSS licensing, working with a FOSS community, tools and techniques normally used in FOSS development, and so on. (I'm not interested in projects related to generative AI or machine learning - please speak to other supervisors for those.)
