Personal

Mine

There is a blog (and its archive), a poetry page (also in a blog form). Then, there goes an attempt at self-characterisation: about me and an annotated (and incomplete and else) list of books.

Finally, my university homepage could be interesting, as well as my people.redhat.com corner, but that needs updating, too.

Of friends

There come a few links, bart’s blog, enrico’s homepage and blog, ervin’s page, lypanov’s homepage and diary and Viliam Ročkai’s page.

Photos

(This needs updating.) Just one photo of myself in the meanwhile: walking home.

Projects

Common

Most of the code I work on can be browsed in code repositories - to browse, see darcs web (however, these are currently broken, although I do intend to fix them).

Many of the C++ projects of mine use libwibble - collected bits of useful C++ code, co-maintained with enrico.

Debian

Then goes Debian - the operating system I use mostly everywhere. I am a DD and currently maintain dzen2 package and should maintain adept and co-maintain libwibble. If I come around an interesting piece of (free) software that is not part of Debian, I will consider it for adoption as well.

Related to Debian (and KDE), there are libept (previously libapt-front) - a sane API for APT and Adept - a KDE package management GUI based on libept.

University

At the university (Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University in Brno), I am a member of ParaDiSe - the Parallel and Distributed Systems Laboratory. My primary project there is DiVinE - Distributed Verification Environment, although my current work is more centered around shared-memory parallelism.

Work

At Red Hat, I work on LVM (Logical Volume Manager) and related tools (mostly device-mapper’s dmeventd).

Inactive

I used to be involved with KDE - the best desktop environment, although I do not use the environment anymore, just Konqueror. I have a semi-sleeping project for KDE though (Adept, see above).

There used to be a project called ekhis, which had also been known as kalyxo.

Contact

Petr Ročkai

You could mail me at me(a)mornfall!net (private) or prockai(a)redhat!com (work). (My) jabber does not work, so tough luck. ICQ goes as 298262454, although the safest bet is IRC, where you could find me under the nick mornfall at freenode, oftc and ircnet. Finally, the snail-mail addresses are:
