  Individual Projects

Further details available at [http://www.manoharvanga.com/projects.html]

• MiniOS MiniOS is a miniature operating system created for 
  educational purposes. It consists of a boot loader, a kernel 
  that sets up the CPU, basic screen functions, a keyboard 
  handler and a simple memory manager.

• SubC SubC is a compiler for a C-like language that was 
  implemented from scratch using Java. It generates unoptimized 
  assembly code that can be readily compiled by NASM (Netwide 
  Assembler)

• GraphicX GraphicX is a graphics library showcasing the various 
  algorithms used in 2D computer graphics.

• Turbo4Lin Turbo4Lin is a library that enables the easy porting 
  of Turbo C graphics applications from DOS to a Linux 
  environment.

• 8080-Emu 8080-Emu is an emulator for the Intel 8080 
  microprocessor, inspired by various virtualization environments 
  such as QEMU, VirtualBox and VMWare.

• Tiny (Compiler and Interpreter) Tiny is a small 
  expression-based language whose statements consist of 
  assignment, integer input and screen output statements. I have 
  implemented a compiler and an interpreter for Tiny in Java.

• TrafficAnalyst : TrafficAnalyst is a project that aims to 
  analyze road traffic footage and collect various statistics 
  about them (For example, average number of vehicles sighted per 
  day). It is currently still in the prototyping stages and 
  involves image processing and machine vision techniques.



  Collaborative and Open Source Projects

• Twincling Scano Scano is an open source Source Code Annotation 
  software that I am developing in collaboration with the 
  Twincling Technology Foundation, Hyderabad, India.

• MiniServ MiniServ is an open source, lightweight web server 
  that I authored. It is written entirely in C and can serve 
  basic HTML files. Its original purpose was to serve various 
  documentation files on the college network. It has a tiny 
  memory footprint of 14k.

• World of Midgard World of Midgard is a text-based MUD 
  (Multi-User Dungeon) game that I developed (and abandoned due 
  to time considerations). It consists of a server that can 
  interpret and execute game commands sent by a client.



  Miscellaneous Activities

• Open Source Community Lead I am a community lead for the 
  Twincling Technology Foundation, Hyderabad. As a community lead 
  I help community members adopt open source solutions.

• Linux User Group I am an active member of the Twincling Linux 
  User Group (now the Twincling Technology Foundation), 
  Hyderabad. I have attended various technical talks by community 
  members for over a year.

• Open Source Summit 2008 I was one of the team leaders that 
  helped organize the Open Source Summit 2008 involving technical 
  talks by various representatives from open source companies and 
  products such as BeleniX, Git, Hadoop, Gentoo, OpenSUSE, C-DAC 
  and Intel.
