<h1>Current Projects</h1>

<h2><a href="http://argouml.tigris.org/">ArgoUML</a></h2>

<p>ArgoUML is the leading open source UML modeling tool and includes

support for all standard UML 1.4 diagrams. It runs on any Java platform

and is available in ten languages. See the feature list for more details.</p>

<h2><a href="http://bongo-project.org/">Bongo</a></h2>

<p>The Bongo Project is creating fun and simple mail, calendaring and

contacts software: on top of a standards-based server stack; we're

innovating fresh and interesting web user interfaces for managing

personal communications. Bongo is providing an entirely free software

solution which is less concerned with the corporate mail scenario and

much more focused on how people want to organize their lives.</p>

<h2><a href="http://www.boost.org/">Boost</a></h2>

<p>Boost provides free peer-reviewed portable C++ source libraries.</p>

<p>Boost emphasizes libraries that work well with the C++ Standard

  Library.  Boost libraries are intended to be widely useful, and usable

  across a broad spectrum of applications.  The Boost license encourages

  both commercial and non-commercial use.</p>

<p>Boost aims to establish &ldquo;existing practice&rdquo; and provide

reference implementations so that Boost libraries are suitable for

eventual standardization. Ten Boost libraries are already included in the

C++ Standards Committee's Library Technical Report (TR1) as a step toward

becoming part of a future C++ Standard. More Boost libraries are proposed

for the upcoming TR2.</p>

<h2><a href="https://www.bro.org/">Bro Network Security Monitor</a></h2>

<p>Bro provides a comprehensive platform for network traffic analysis, with a

particular focus on semantic security monitoring at scale. While often

compared to classic intrusion detection/prevention systems, Bro takes a quite

different approach by providing users with a flexible framework that

facilitates customized, in-depth monitoring far beyond the capabilities of

traditional systems. With initial versions in operational deployment during

the mid '90s already, Bro finds itself grounded in more than 20 years of

research.</p>

<h2><a href="http://buildbot.net/">Buildbot</a></h2>

<p>

Buildbot is a freely-licensed framework which enables software

developers to automate software build, test, and release processes for their

software projects.  First released in 2003, Buildbot is used by leading 

software projects around the world to automate all aspects of their 

software development cycle. </p>

<h2 id="busybox"><a href="https://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="https://clojars.org/">Clojars</a></h2>

<p>Clojars is a community-maintained repository for free and open source

libraries written in the Clojure programming language. Clojars emphasizes

ease of use, publishing library packages that are simple to use with build

automation tools.</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="/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

to encode low level details into it.</li></ul>

<h2><a href="http://qemu.org">QEMU</a></h2>

<p> QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and

        virtualizer. When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and

        programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different

        machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves

        very good performance. When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near

        native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host

        CPU. QEMU supports

 virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the

        KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86,

        server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.</p>

<h2><a href="https://www.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 z, 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>

<h2><a href="http://seleniumhq.org">Selenium</a></h2>

<p>Selenium is a suite of tools for browser automation. It is composed of

“IDE”, a recording and playback mechanism,

“WebDriver” and “RC” which provide APIs for

browser automation in a wide variety of languages, and “Grid”,

which allows many tests using the APIs to be run in parallel. It works

with most browsers, including Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome,

Safari and Opera.</p>

<h2><a href="https://www.spec-ops.io/">Spec-Ops</a></h2>

<p>Spec-Ops' mission is to identify critical open standards activities 

and move them along. Spec-Ops puts experts in the room who understand 

the technology, who know about the process of creating standards, and 

who have no specific personal or corporate agenda — then lets them get 

on with it. Spec-Ops also develops free and open source software 

(licensed under BSD-style licenses) to test and implement these 

standards, in order to speed adoption and ensure their long term 

viability and success.</p>

<h2><a href="http://squeak.org/">Squeak</a></h2>

<p>Squeak is a modern, open source, full-featured implementation of

the powerful Smalltalk programming language and environment. Squeak is

highly-portable - even its virtual machine is written entirely in

Smalltalk making it easy to debug, analyze, and change. Squeak is the

vehicle for a wide range of projects from multimedia applications,

educational platforms to commercial web application development.</p>

<h2><a href="https://sugarlabs.org">Sugar Labs</a></h2>

<p>Sugar is a learning platform that reinvents how computers are used for

education.  Sugar's focus on sharing, criticism, and exploration is

grounded in the culture of free software.  Sugar Labs' mission is to

produce, distribute and support the use of the Sugar learning platform.

Sugar Labs supports the community of educators and software developers who

want to extend the platform.  Sugar is a community project: under the

Sugar Labs umbrella hundreds of software developers and thousands of

educators work together to build, disseminate, and support Sugar.</p>

<h2><a href="http://surveyos.sourceforge.net/">SurveyOS</a></h2>

<p>The Survey Open Source (SurveyOS) Project is a non-profit project of

the Software Freedom Conservancy dedicated to fostering cooperation

between land surveyors and GIS professionals through the development of

open source software and open technology standards. The SurveyOS Project

currently devotes programming efforts and source code to the open source

desktop GIS program known as OpenJUMP. It also dedicates a set of AutoLISP

source code via the GPL that can be used to add surveying and geospatial

functionality to other software.</p>

<h2><a href="http://www.swig.org/">SWIG</a></h2>

<p>SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C

and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages.  SWIG is used

with different types of languages including common scripting languages

such as Perl, PHP, Python, Tcl and Ruby. The list of supported languages

also includes C#, Java, Lua, Octave and R amongst others. SWIG is most

commonly used to create high-level interpreted or compiled programming

environments, user interfaces, and as a tool for testing and prototyping

C/C++ software.</p>

<h2><a href="https://twistedmatrix.com/">Twisted</a></h2>

<p>Twisted is an event-based engine for Internet applications, written in

Python. Twisted supports TCP, SSL and TLS, UDP, Unix sockets, multicast,

and serial ports. It also includes a Web server, an SMTP/POP3 server, a

telnet server, an SSH server, an IRC server, a DNS server, and of course

APIs for creating new protocols. It supports integration with GTK+ 2, Qt,

Tkinter, wxPython, Mac OS X (PyObjC) and Win32 event loops.</p>

<h2><a href="https://www.uclibc.org/">uCLibc</a></h2>

<p>uClibc (pronounced yew-see-lib-see) is a C library

for developing embedded Linux systems. It is much smaller than the GNU

C Library, but nearly all applications supported by glibc also work

perfectly with uClibc. Porting applications from glibc to uClibc

typically involves just recompiling the source code. uClibc even

supports shared libraries and threading. It currently runs on standard

Linux and MMU-less (also known as uClinux) systems with support for

alpha, ARM, cris, i386, i960, h8300, m68k, mips/mipsel, PowerPC, SH,

SPARC, and v850 processors.</p>

<h2><a href="http://www.winehq.org/">Wine</a></h2>

<p>Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of

X and Unix.  It is a compatibility layer for running Windows

programs. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a

completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API

consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use

native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a

development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as

a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on

x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris</p>
