About myself

I'm Dr. Gergő Érdi (Érdi Gergő in the original Hungarian order of surname first), born on 18th November, 1980 in Budapest and living here ever since.

I've finished the Veres Péter High School in 1999, and graduated with an MD at the Semmelweis University of Medicine in 2005. Since 2003, I'm also studying at the CS faculty of Eötvös Loránd University.

I am currently (since 2005) working at Intentional Software.

My software

I hack on the following free software projects in my free time. Way back, most of them were either part of the GNOME project, or were based on the GNOME platform. These days, I'm mostly just writing Lisp code for fun, or throw-away programs relevant to some more theoretical problems I happen to get interested in (these are usually related to my studies).

Larger projects

• Guikachu: Graphical resource editor for the GNU PalmOS SDK
• Alef: A lazy functional programming language (interpreter and compiler)
• When I find the time to do so, I like to contribute to GNOME. Modules I've contributed to include Gnumeric, Evolution, gal, gnome-libs, gnome-terminal, and Bonobo.

Smaller ones

• Collection of Elisp snippets.
• Goblin: A Python implementation of the board game Gobblet, for Windows and Unix/Linux systems.
• XSLT templates for creating your CV: This page describes in detail a simple way to generate HTML and printable versions of your resume from a single source.

Old stuff

• Smaller GNOME things
• A CipherSaber implementation in QBasic
• ORBit/C++: I worked on making this usable with GNOME 2 and GTKmm for more than a year, before finally giving up. Bowie Owens took over, but the whole thing never really took off.
• RadioActive: A GNOME/GTK+ front-end for radio tuners
• I've sent quite a few patches to Gnomoku, a small game. Since then, I've become the maintainer of it.
• Bonobo Clipboard: This is a moniker-based clipboard supporting both embedding and linking. Accessing it is done via the Bonobo::Clipboard and Bonobo::ClipboardStore interfaces, and the "clipboard:" moniker.
• Bonobomm: This project intended to integrate Bonobo with the GNOMEmm C++ wrapper for GNOME. It's become part of GNOMEmm.
• Bonobo-Media: A set of Bonobo interfaces for multimedia playback
• I've ported GConfmm to GNOME 2 and cleaned it up some in the process.
• Panelmm: a C++ wrapper for developing GNOME 1.x panel applets (see the GTKmm page for details, and information on the GNOME 2 version)
• MAGE Adventure Game Engine
