<h2><a href="http://www.busybox.net">BusyBox</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a
 
single small executable. It provides replacements for most of the
 
utilities you usually find in GNU fileutils, shellutils, etc. The
 
utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their
 
full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included
 
provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU
 
counterparts. BusyBox provides a fairly complete environment for any
 
small or embedded system.</p>
 

	
 
<p>BusyBox has been written with size-optimization and limited
 
resources in mind. It is also extremely modular so you can easily
 
include or exclude commands (or features) at compile time. This makes
 
it easy to customize your embedded systems. To create a working
 
system, just add some device nodes in /dev, a few configuration files
 
in /etc, and a Linux kernel.</p>
 

	
 

	
 
<h2><a href="http://darcs.net/">Darcs</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Darcs is a distributed revision control system written in Haskell. In
 
Darcs, every copy of your source code is a full repository, which allows for
 
full operation in a disconnected environment, and also allows anyone with
 
read access to a Darcs repository to easily create their own branch and
 
modify it with the full power of Darcs' revision control. Darcs is based on
 
an underlying theory of patches, which allows for safe reordering and
 
merging of patches even in complex scenarios. For all its power, Darcs
 
remains a very easy to use tool for every day use because it follows the
 
principle of keeping simple things simple.  Darcs is free software
 
licensed under the GNU GPL.</p>
 

	
 
<h2><a href="http://evergreen-ils.org/">Evergreen</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>The Evergreen Project develops an open source ILS (integrated library
 
system) used by hundreds of libraries across the world. The software, also
 
called Evergreen, is used by libraries to provide their public catalog
 
interface as well as to manage back-of-house operations such as
 
circulation (checkouts and checkins), acquisition and cataloging of
 
library materials, and sharing resources among groups of libraries and
 
consortia on the same Evergreen system.  Evergreen is designed to be
 
scalable and supports library operations ranging from a small high school
 
to large state-wide consortia.  Evergreen is released under
 
the <a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html">GPLv2</a>-or-later.</p>
 

	
 
<h2><a href="http://www.foresightlinux.org/">Foresight Linux</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Foresight is a desktop operating system featuring an intuitive user
 
interface and a showcase of the latest desktop software, giving users
 
convenient and enjoyable access to their music, photos, videos,
 
documents, and Internet resources.</p>
 

	
 
<p>As a Linux distribution, Foresight sets itself apart by eliminating
 
the need for the user to be familiar with Linux.</p>
 

	
 
<h2><a href="http://www.gevent.org/">Gevent</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Gevent is a fast, coroutine-based networking library for Python.
 
Gevent is used in network applications, including servers that scale
 
up to tens thousands of connections but without the complexity usually
 
associated with event-driven architecture.</p>
 

	
 
<p>Gevent provides light-weight &ldquo;green&rdquo; threads with a similar
 
interface as the standard &ldquo;threading&rdquo; and
 
&ldquo;multiprocessing&rdquo; packages.  The library includes a DNS
 
resolver, a WSGI server, a monkey patching utility to make 3rd party
 
protocol implementations cooperative and support for SSL sockets.</p>
 

	
 
<h2><a href="http://www.git-scm.org/">Git</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Git is a free and open source distributed version control system
 
  designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with
 
  speed and efficiency.</p>
 

	
 
<p>Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and
 
  full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access
 
  or a central server. Branching and merging are fast and easy to do.</p>
 

	
 
<p>Git is used for version control of files, much like tools such as
 
  Mercurial, Bazaar, Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and Visual SourceSafe.</p>
 

	
 
<h2><a href="http://www.inkscape.org/">Inkscape</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Inkscape is an Open Source vector graphics editor, with capabilities
 
similar to Illustrator, Freehand, CorelDraw, or Xara X using the
 
open-standard Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file format. Inkscape's
 
main goal is to create a powerful and convenient drawing tool fully
 
compliant with XML, SVG, and CSS standards.</p>
 

	
 
<p>In contrast to raster (bitmap) graphics editors such as Photoshop or
 
Gimp, Inkscape stores its graphics in a vector format. Vector graphics
 
is a resolution-independent description of the actual shapes and
 
objects that you see in the image. This description is then used to
 
determine how to plot each line and curve at any resolution or zoom
 
level.</p>
 

	
 
<h2><a href="http://www.jquery.com">jQuery</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML
 
     document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions
 
     for rapid web development. The jQuery Project works to maintain the
 
     jQuery JavaScript library and nurture the community surrounding it.
 
     </p>
 

	
 
<h2><a href="http://www.k-3d.org">K-3D</a></h2>

system for GNU/Linux, MacOSX, and Windows operating systems. K-3D is based
 
on a powerful Visualization Pipeline that enables procedural modeling and
 
a robust plugin architecture, and is designed to scale to the needs of
 
professional artists.</p>
 

	
 
<h2><a href="http://kohanaframework.org">Kohana</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Kohana is an elegant HMVC PHP5 framework that provides a rich set of
 
components for building web applications.  It requires very little
 
configuration, fully supports UTF-8 and I18N, and provides many of the
 
tools that a developer needs within a highly flexible system. The
 
integrated class auto-loading, cascading filesystem, highly consistent
 
API, and easy integration with vendor libraries make it viable for any
 
project, large or small.</p>

<h2><a href="http://us1.samba.org/samba/">Samba</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Samba is a FOSS suite that provides seamless file and print
 
services to SMB/CIFS clients, namely, to Microsoft Windows. Samba is
 
freely available, unlike other SMB/CIFS implementations, and allows
 
for interoperability between Linux/Unix servers and Windows-based
 
clients.  Samba is software that can be run on a platform other than
 
Microsoft Windows. For example, Samba runs on Unix, GNU/Linux, IBM
 
System 390, Solaris, Mac OS X, and OpenVMS, among others. It is
 
standard on virtually all distributions of GNU/Linux and is commonly
 
included as a basic system service on other UNIX-based systems as
 
well. Samba uses the TCP/IP protocol that is installed on the host
 
server.</p>
 

	
 
<p>One of the key goals of the project is to remove barriers to
 
interoperability. Samba is a software package that gives network
 
administrators flexibility and freedom in setup, configuration, choice
 
of systems, and equipment. Samba is released under the GPL.</p>
