FreeBSD

I'm an active user of the FreeBSD operating system on my server systems. One of the things I do to contribute back to the FreeBSD project is maintaining some software ports for the system, otherwise my most notable contribution to FreeBSD was probably a patch to allow the migration of RubyGems from RubyForge.org to the new RubyGems.org site.

You can see the list of ports I maintain below or on the FreeBSD ports site or FreshPorts site, if you want to see which of my ports are out of date and pester me have a look at the fantastic portscout site. This page serves mainly as a convenient place for me to gather useful links to items such as the Problem Reports (PRs) I currently have filed, etc.

If you want to contact me about any of my ports you can do so by emailing me at: freebsdports at chillibear dot com.
