Open Source Projects

This has been a very open-source year for me at Google. In addition to working on some major projects (Chrome and now Chrome OS), I've also released the following:

Software Construction Toolkit - A set of extensions to the open-source SCons build tool, to make it easier to build and test cross-platform applications. Written in Python.

Mini Golf Score - My first Android app. I was inspired to write this by my two boys, who haven't yet figured out how to take turns at mini golf, and who often play the game more like hockey than golf. I designed Mini Golf Score so that I can just tap on their names as they hit the ball, and each tap adds a stroke to their score for the current hole. It's a free app at the Android Market (note: that link only works if you're on an Android phone). Written in Java.
