Pymp Media Player is a lightweight Gtk interface to the MPlayer console application. Pymp has an intentionally trim yet adequate feature set, and is geared towards users of the GNOME and Xfce desktop environments. I created Pymp in order to teach myself Python and PyGtk. The project has attracted several new maintainers since its initial release in 2004.

May 2004 - January 2007, The CRUX Project. Core maintainer.

CRUX is a lightweight, i686-optimized Linux distribution targeted at experienced Linux users. I joined the CRUX project as a maintainer in 2004, and became a core maintainer after attending CruxCon later that year. As such, I maintained numerous "ports" of essential software packages, and developed the distributed package management application Pkgsync. I also hosted CruxCon in 2005.
