Digital camera hacks

I have been thinking about my 3 year old, but still going well Fuji S5600 camera.

AS a digital camera it is halfway between a a DSLR and a normal compact. Good lens, decent zoom but in manual mode no slower shutter speed than 15 seconds.

IT doesn't havea bulb mode. Now I have just been thinking that normal digital cameras the shuter speed is just a function of programming as to how long the CCD is active and registering light unlike a DSLR or normal SLR where shutter speed is a function of how wide the thing that slides across the CCD/film is. Now I was wondering if anyone knows of any forum anywhere on which some clever bods have hacked digital cameras so they can do thing the makers never wanted us to do...
