ABout Time Linux is a project that plans to provide a source-based Linux distribution based on a tool set that has been documented from the beginning of the design cycle. This will be the driving goal behind all development here on AbTLinux. Clearly documented design, clear development goals leading to each release and just getting them done!
Most members of this project have worked on other Linux distribution projects and have grown tired of working on badly documented designs. This leads to badly organized growth paths for these distributions and hard to manage code bases for the tools. The common expression is that it is like "hurding cats." We feel that it should not be like that. With clear goals, clear documentation and clear coding practices everyone from users on down to developers can benifit from our project.
This project is programmed in Ruby, for more information see http://www.abtlinux.org.

In 2005 I designed and implemented the Publication Management System (PMS) for the IRIS department at the Radboud University Nijmegen. Since September 2006 it has been adopted by the entire Institute (ICIS). This is for supporting their workflow (publication submission and registration) and for providing presentation of that work. The project is programmed in PHP, hosted in the CodeYard (http://www.codeyard.net) and is in use at the ICIS PMS site (http://pms.cs.ru.nl).
