#2I enrolled in codepath's iOS bootcamp starting Jan 15th 2014, so I am planning to launch an iOS app in the app store. Not very sure about the app itself. But I am planning to make some sort of utility app for education.

#3How about you start? Why don't you seed this discussion with at least something other than just a question and "I'd like to hear your side projects..."? Show us that you're invested in this by giving us your thoughts/ideas instead of asking us to "do all of the heavy lifting" here and I suspect you'll get a lot more response.

#4This year I ended up focusing on an open resource for teaching and learning Python, http://introtopython.org. In 2014 I hope to bring that project to an appropriate level of completion.
After that, I'd like to go back to another project I started, http://opencompetencies.org. This project aims to help educators build and maintain their own sets of education standards.
These projects have been well-received so far. I just need to keep making time for them, and see them through to maturity.

#5I mostly work on PHP/MySQL with some frontend so, to diversify my skills - I want to spend some time learning Android application development and release at least one app in the Android Market. Not very sure about the app itself; may be something like sending my phone's sensor data to a web server using REST API.

I agree; updated the description.

#7I'm working on a freemium SaaS which provides security for WordPress based websites. It remotely scans for vulnerabilites in your wordpress website the same way an attacker would and notifies you. Zero programming knowledge required. No installation required.
I need more money for the servers so I'm currently waiting for my Google bug bounty to come through (it's been over 6 weeks!) so I can fund a security startup with security money from Google.

#9I plan to release an app for londoners, focused on finding good pubs around tube stations. It's pretty funky: http://dribbble.com/shots/1326115-London-Pub-Crawl-Interacti...
Plus I want to play with creating a few games. I have 5-6 simple ideas I'd like to spend a couple of weeks at a time trying out that I'll be putting on my blog at http://danielhough.co.uk
