## Open source software development

I have been a contributor to open-source projects, mostly Haskell:  
xmobar, cabal-install, darcs, TagSoup.

I created and maintain many open-source projects including: epub-tools,
epub-metadata, hsinstall, uacpid, hscrtmpl, photoname. Over 50k lines of code
in Haskell alone.  
These projects are hosted and documented in detail on [github][gh].

I am experienced in epub creation and maintain the epub edition of  
["(Nothing But) Flowers"][nbf] by John G. McDaid, a Creative Commons  
licensed work of fiction.
