Silky is a secure chat client for SILC protocol.
The project was launched in summer 2003, motivated by the fact that there was no good graphical SILC client available. There was obvious demand for an easy to use client, as at the time there was only one fully featured client and it was a textual client.
First proof-of-concept version of Silky was drafted together quickly in couple of days, and it got some people interested in developing a fully featured graphical client. Now, after year and a half and with contributions from many friendly people Silky is starting to look and feel like a real chat client.
The primary objective of the project is to create a chat client that suits the needs of beginners as well as advanced users. Silky differentiates from other simple SILC clients, such as GAIM, by having more features and flexibility, but without losing the easy of use.
Portability is one of the key features of the Silky. The code has been tested to work in all major operating systems including Linux, Mac OS X and Windows. Silky should run in all kinds of environments from embedded Linux devices to powerful desktop workstation.
Next steps of the project are to complete all missing features, and to get Silky shipped with all major Linux distributions.
Main features:
- Silky is a secure chat client.
- Silky has a simple and easy to use user interface.
- Silky runs in Windows, Linux, OS X, NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and possibly in some other systems.
- Silky doesnt require the GNOME desktop to run, just GTK2 runtime libraries.
- Silky uses the SILC Protocol, used in free-for-all chat network SILCNet.
- Silky is an open source application, with GPL licence.

Jackbeat is an audio sequencer, a Linux tool for musicians and sound artists. It has support for the JACK Audio Connection Kit.
Main features:
- drummachine-like interface for fast and easy editing
- realtime operation : while playing, the sequence can be edited and resized, the bpm rate modified, and new samples loaded,
- virtually unlimited number of tracks and beats
- easy to use and yet powerful : just JACK it into jack-rack and you can apply LADSPA effect plugins on a per track basis, perform mastering with jackeq , etc...
- loads and saves .jab files, Jackbeats file format, based on xml and packed with tar,
- unique masking feature : allows to insert silences with precision into a given track.

Pixory project is your personal online photo management and sharing service, running entirely on your computer using your broadband internet connection.
Use it to instantly share photo albums with friends and family across the internet, or to more effectively manage digital photos on your home network.
All Pixory access is through a standard web browser, but Pixory requires no web server setup-- just unzip and run!
Main features:
- Requires no installation; just unzip and run
- Uses standards-compliant, pure html, interface. Uses no plugins or proprietary extensions.
- Has a powerful and flexible sharing model, which can work in both a fine-grained and course-grained fashion.
- Web page generation is "on-demand". Html pages are never stored, you do not have to regenerate web pages after making changes to albums. Its a true web "application"-- any changes are always immediately reflected to all viewers.
- Supports text input and display in all languages (full Unicode support).
- Full localization (l10n) support. Localized for English and German.
- Supports browsing with fast automatic image scaling (resizing).
- Automatically assigns dates to all photos in an album, from either the file date or the embedded EXIF metadata from the camera/scanner. Allows manual overrides for automatic date settings
- Automatically orders album pages based on date. Allows for manual override of automatic page orderings.
- Can send graphical email invitations to albums.
- Can rotate images.
- Can generate thumbnails as a continuous background process.
- Has an embedded FTP server for secure drag-n-drop file operations (uploads, downloads, renames, etc.) between the web client and a remote Pixory instance. This server is not simply grafted onto the web application as a separate entity, but is intimately connected with, and controlled by, the web interface.
- Integrated "Contact"/email address management.
- Comes packaged as either a completely self-contained java web application, or as a Servlet 2.3 compliant Web Application that is ready for hot deploy into a java application server like JBoss or Tomcat.
- File upload and file download, for individual images or in bulk archives.
- Will run on any operating system that supports a 1.4 java runtime environment (JRE).
- Is completely self-contained. Requires no third party packages, aside from the JRE.
- Stores all user-entered album data in standard XML, accessible to the user independent of Pixory.
- Can display image metadata such as the EXIF information embedded in image files by most digital cameras and scanners.
- Is secure. The combination of a web interface and java offer a very secure facade to present to the internet. There are no general serices or hooks into the operating system added by Pixory. The only functionality that is enabled is what you see directly in the web interface.
Enhancements:
Fixed bugs:
- Selecting any of the arrow buttons on the "Photo Info" page takes you to the "Page Text"
- page for a different photo, instead of
- taking you to the "Photo Info" page
- for a different photo.
- Contact selector in the Album Invitor doesnt do
- anything when you hit "continue".
Other changes:
- Pixory now runs on Java/JRE 1.5.
- Added support for multiple Pixory instances in the same container.
- Pixory now uses Hibernate 3.1.2

DynAMOS is an on-the-fly kernel updating system that enables commodity operating systems to gain adaptive and mutative capabilities without kernel recompilation or reboot. The project employs a novel and efficient dynamic instrumentation technique called adaptive function cloning.
Execution flow can be switched adaptively among multiple editions of functions, possibly concurrently running. This approach becomes the foundation for dynamic replacement of non-quiescent kernel subsystems when the timeliness of an update depends on synchronization of multiple kernel paths.
Main features:
- Updates of non-quiescent subsystems. It accomplishes substantial updates of core kernel subsystems that never quiesce, such as the scheduler and kernel threads.
- Datatype updates. It offers a technique for updating compact datatype definitions. Additions of new fields in a datatype is supported using a shadow data structure containing the fields.
- Safe reversibility. A methodology of quiescence detection is employed. Updated functions can be removed with the guarantee that they are not used by the stack or program counter of any process.
- Adaptability. Execution can be switched adaptively between multiple, possibly concurrently running, function editions. This is the first dynamically applied, adaptive kernel updating system.
- Synchronized updates. A multi-phase updating algorithm for replacement of complete kernel subsystems is offered. Notably, for the cases where the timeliness of an update depends on synchronization of multiple kernel paths.
Enhancements:
- This release updates the users manual.
