CNOSSOS works on Free Software: I do it for the four freedoms and the tenets of the Open Source definition.

CNOSSOS works in the open: you can find my work on GitHub, and in KDE repositories, and elsewhere.

CNOSSOS works holistically: if I use it, I’ll agressively improve it.

Projects

ARPA2 Parts of the ARPA2 project, Quick DER, LillyDAP and Steamworks, are developed by CNOSSOS in collaboration with Rick van Rein and others. This work can be found in ARPA2’s GitLab repository.

Calamares The Calamares installer is maintained by CNOSSOS, supported by Blue Systems. This work can be found in the Calamares site and repository.

Personal I do various things in my spare time. Useful bits may include QuatBot, a Matrix meeting- management bot, and FreeBSDTools, a getting-started collection for new FreeBSD committers. I’m one of the maintainers of the FreeBSD KDE ports.

Biography

A Canadian by birth and a Dutchman by training, I studied mathematics and computer science (PhD. in formal methods from the University of Nijmegen), worked in legal and licensing for a while, wrote some medical-related software, and then moved on to working on Open Source projects full-time.

My pronouns are he/him, I’ll eat anything but vegetarian is preferred.
