So in the spirit of this community and not just to focus on the Reddit... issues... I thought it might be nice to get a topical conversation going in here.

Basically, what open source projects are you currently working on or are you heavily involved with?

I think it would be nice to see what projects people have on the go, get some publicity out there and otherwise talk about stuff that we should be discussing here.

I'm building midimech. It's an isomorphic musical layout system for midi controllers with a grid layout. It lays out the notes in a way that makes most scales and chords easier to play than other instruments. For example, if you can play the shape of a triangle, you know how to play every major chord. An upside-down triangle is a minor chord. Most scales fit nicely along the fingers since you're running rows of 3 or 4 notes and going to the next one. The layout is closely related to the circle of 5ths, making chord progressions easier too. It's got a lot of features too, including a MIDI visualizer for learning songs, and a scale/mode database. We're just starting out and more controller support is coming soon.
