The thing I'm studying are actually more for other components than computers, which is the reason the OpenMoko project is very enticing for me. I'm probably going to be spending lots of time on the resent project I'm working on before joining this team. A second reason being insufficient fonds for purchasing the phone.

Working on

I'm hoping to soon contribute with a project I call Gnome Synchronization Utility to the Ubuntu community. As the title implies this is an application that synchronizes your files and folders with an ssh account on a remote computer. It is in general just an easy-to-use front-end to rsync, that uses gnome-vfs-monitor to automate the process of resyncing when changes are made in files.

My present project has turned into being very large actually. I call it gnome-sync and the thing it does is to monitor your files and folders and via rsync (and soon Git) it will be able to keep a Version Controlled copy of these files and folders on a remote machine. This is done via a simple ssh connection, which means no server is needed and no extra functionalities on the receiving machine; only an ssh account.

At the moment it can be found at sourceforge http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnome-sync
