Yes! Very good work!

Design looks nice and works like a charm, great content as well. My new laptop will have a Linux partition so this site will be visited often

...thanks.

Agreed, that's a very nice site

.

I'm not sure if it's specifically linux open source stuff you're concerned with (the programs I saw in my brief examination seemed to be mostly linux ones - if so, ignore most of the following

), but I've got a number of (mostly Windows and OS X) open source apps/plugins:

Amplitude Imposer - Windows and OS X VST plugin.
Buffer Synth 2 - Windows and OS X VST plugin.
Cycle Shifter - Windows and OS X VST plugin.
Harmonical - Windows and OS X VST plugin.
Tempo Sync Reverser - Windows and OS X VST plugin.
Niall's Pedal Board - Windows VST host.
Subvert Audio - Windows and Linux program intended to stimulate the user's creativity. I think the ideas are probably better than the implementation, sadly .

The plugins are all released under the expat/MIT license (due to limitations with Steinberg's VST license), the programs under the GPL.

Also, I noticed the link you've got to Tao is to the old site - I've recently (well, fairly recently) taken over maintenance of Tao, and we have a sourceforge site now: http://taopm.sourceforge.net/. At the moment, I've only really updated the code slightly to compile on modern compilers (the previous version used some deprecated string classes), and updated the configure script so it'll compile on OS X and Cygwin, but I'm hoping to be able to optimise the program somewhat in the future, as I'm going to be using it as part of my PhD.

- Niall.

W32 open source seems to be pretty hard to find, I think most of the open source devs have more interested in Linux, for obvious reasons... in any case there are more interesting os apps on linux side.

Good luck with Tao & PhD, NiallM - looks like an incredible thing.
