<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 &mdash; 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&#35;, 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="http://teachingopensource.org/">Teaching Open Source</a></h2>
 

	
 
<p>Teaching Open Source (TOS) exists to support instructors and FLOSS community
 
members who desire to support student involvement in FLOSS projects
 
within academic institutions.  The TOS community is supported by a web
 
site, mailing list, and planet and welcomes new community members from
 
both academia and FLOSS projects.</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>
