• midpoint-cli

  2018 – 2026

  A command-line client and interactive shell for Evolveum midPoint, the open-source identity governance platform. Users, org units, resources and tasks — searchable, scriptable, patchable from XML, with tab completion and persistent history.

  Written because reconciling thousands of accounts through a web console is not a plan.

  Runs in production at the LNS, where the identity team is two people. Presented at TIIME 2024 in Copenhagen and the MidPoint Community Meetup 2026 in Prague, paired with the Odoo identity connector the LNS publishes.

• SuperTape

  2018 – 2026

  A cassette deck for computers that no longer have one. SuperTape turns a modern sound card into the tape drive a 1980s machine expects — decoding audio back into BASIC and assembler listings on the way in, and generating the signal to load them on the way out.

  It will also convert an image into a BASIC program, so a machine from 1983 can display a photo taken last week.

  Python with an interactive shell, live audio-level monitoring and device selection, and a YAML tape library. There is a desktop front end too, and the machine at the other end of the cable is usually the one I wrote matraalice to emulate.

  2020 – 2024

  An IT governance suite for the people who have to answer for risk, compliance and budget. Built as an Odoo module, and also packaged as a standalone image with Odoo and PostgreSQL embedded so it can be tried in one command.

  The governance tooling I wanted to buy, so I wrote it instead.

  Odoo turns out to be a reasonable substrate for ITSM too — which is what odoo-itsm became.

  Prints the containers, networks and port bindings on the local machine as a map you can paste straight into a ticket. On PyPI since 2018.

  One idea, held since 1989: if it can be a diagram, it can be text.

  It started as Ascii Art for Java in 2011, on Maven Central and SourceForge, and continues as pysciiart — a widget toolkit for boxes, arrows and dashboards drawn in characters.

• idm-connector-odoo

  2021 – 2026

  An Odoo connector built to the ConnId / OpenICF standard, so an identity manager such as Evolveum midPoint can treat Odoo as a governed resource. It reads Odoo's models and fields and hands them over as a schema, then synchronises persons, accounts and organisation charts — including the relational field types, and Odoo's res.groups mapped to midPoint entitlements.

  A public-sector laboratory shipping its identity plumbing as open source, for anyone else running the same stack.

  Java and Gradle, with unit tests that need nothing and integration tests that need a live Odoo, plus an administrator guide written for midPoint admins. Three forks so far — other people are running it. This is the connector half of the talks at TIIME 2024 and the MidPoint Community Meetup 2026; midpoint-cli is the other.

   • Delivering national programmes: a National Oncology information system with LuxITH, a national healthcare SOC with eSanté, and a business intelligence and activity-reporting platform.
   • Accountable for the LIS/LIMS platforms behind pathology and genetics — performance, interoperability and regulatory compliance — and for sovereign hosting and networking in cooperation with CTIE.
