Python: fix for HP-UX os.major build problem
Weird case of SSH - researched the problem and helped the foss community get better facts & info.
Seahorse: (gnome's key manager) - found, researched, reported a critical bug and suggested a patch. Maintainer committed a better patch eventually. Also updated the Debian BTS
multipath-tools: doc fix [1]

Python / (or more precisely: libffi / dlmalloc) build problem on HP-UX: my patch and research result and the related Python issue. My fix was applied to libffi on commit dc411e8f991.
Drupal CKEditor module patch for supporting indentation for RTL languages. Accepted as git commit 2da0f15c4902f.
A rather intense QA session on Debian's rhythmbox package:

Grub bug (grub-probe failed on LVM devices): after a long research, I found the fix in upstream (grr..:) ). My conclusion

Researched and found, with my colleague Alon, an important RedHat 5 bug in the InfiniBand package (and submitted a patch)
Found a bug in a Drupal theme (w/ a patch). That's not a local bug, but a widespread method of designing web pages which is bad for RTL. I wrote this post in order to lead to a better solution.

Digged in VLC, and found the cause for VLC Alsa/PulseAudio selection bug - in which VLC chose ALSA even if the more-preferred PulseAudio was detected. Found that upstream already got a fix, but not the Debian package. Thanks to my mail to the mailing list, the fix was applied to the Debian package.
OpenSuSE 11 (and SLES 11): trivial fix for multipath init script, which made it into the next version.

YALA: Web-based LDAP Administration tool for simple browsing, watching and editing LDAP directories
