In terms of actual source code that I have submitted for the "public good", the
only things I can think of in the past couple of years are a (very) small
contribution to xmame, a credit card verification thing and a
special-purpose string comparison routine.  Nothing of any interest to 99+% of
people around here, though, and xmame isn't, strictly speaking, an open source
project within the currently accepted meaning of the term.
