Free And Open Source Software

Some of the FOSS projects I work on (or have worked on in the past) include (but are not limited to):

• Oga: an XML/HTML parser for Ruby with XPath and CSS support.
• ruby-ll: an LL(1) parser generator for Ruby.
• ruby-lint: a static code analysis tool for Ruby, capable of detecting undefined methods, incorrect type usage, etc.
