<h2><a href="/news/2015/aug/17/debian/">Debian Copyright Aggregation Project</a></h2>

<p>The Debian Copyright Aggregation Project offers contributors to

  the <a href="https://www.debian.org">Debian project</a> the optional

  opportunity, regarding their works contributed to Debian, to assign

  copyrights or sign a license enforcement agreement (which delegates to

  Conservancy the authority of license enforcement).  The Project also

  creates an ongoing relationship between Conservancy and Debian, wherein

  Conservancy offers Debian its expertise and advice on software licensing,

  enforcement, and related issues.</p>

<h2><a href="https://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.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 “threading” and

“multiprocessing” 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="https://git-scm.com/">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
