In 1999, I created the r_waterripple variable in Quakeforge which has propagated to most subsequent Quake ports. The implementation may or may not vary, but all projects seem to have carried the variable name. I also contributed pk3 unpacking and resurrected the Solaris port, either of which may have code circulating. Also between 1999 and 2001, I was involved in the LiViD project where I worked on a port to PowerPC. I don't recall any patches actually landing into LiViD because it turned out that the bug was in GCC itself, a bug I was told must have existed since the mid-eighties. I didn't directly write the GCC patch, but did debug the compiler error and worked with the GCC team on the fix. This directly resulted in a port of Xine to PowerPC. (LiViD and Xine are early projects for multimedia and DVD playback on Linux) Xine exists today, but it's unlikely any of my code is in it. While the GCC fix is not my code, the fix itself still endures and exists because of my interaction with the project. It's a newer example, but code I wrote simply as a demo for the Cairo graphics project back in 2004 became integrated into Tuxpaint and is still used today for rasterizing SVG graphics into stamps.
