Free community home education program software for linux

Scalix Community Edition Raw (CE Raw) is functionally equivalent to Scalixs Community Edition software except that its components are individually available, making it easy to customize.

Scalix Community Edition Raw includes manual installation instructions via a community Wiki, with links to required third-party components. It is available for the Debian Linux distribution as well as Red Hat and SUSE Linux.

The intent is to make it easy for Linux system admins, developers, and enthusiasts to to adapt an email and calendaring system for their needs and the needs of the community.

The Community Z Tools (CZT) project is building a set of tools for editing, typechecking and animating formal specifications written in the Z specification language, with some support for Z extensions such as Object-Z and TCOZ. These tools are all built using the CZT Java framework for Z tools.
[Adapted from Andrew Martins original CZT proposal] The Z specification language was adopted as an ISO standard in 2002. The project can be used to precisely specify the requirements or behaviour of systems, and analyze that behaviour via proof, animation, test generation etc. However, one of the biggest barriers to the widespread use of the Z specification language seems to be the issue of tool support.
Many projects have constructed Z tools, some of product quality, most as student projects. Few of them are integrated with each other; few support all the new ISO standard; fewer still build together to form the kind of integrated environment that developers are beginning to expect.
Many good ideas have been developed to prototype stage, and then have been lost as projects have finished and students or researchers have moved on. The number of times a request for a Z parser arises in the Z newsgroup suggests lots of people are producing tools, most of which will never be seen outside their own institute. An integrated effort will move forward the state of tools, and thereby the take-up of Z.
Our objectives are to encourage interchange between existing Z tools (via a standard XML interchange format for Z), and to provide open-source libraries for building and integrating new Z tools. The software we are building does/will include:
1. An XML Schema markup for Z. See the ZB2003 proceedings for a paper describing this markup.
2. Java classes for Z annotated syntax trees (AST).
3. Java classes for converting between XML and Java AST.
4. Java libraries for the common operations needed in every Z tool (markup-converters, parser, type-checker, schema expansion etc.). A paper describing these will be presented at ZB2005.
5. One or more simple graphical Z editors, with facilities for easily entering the special Z unicode symbols. Initially we are using jEdit.
6. A Z animation tool called ZLive, with a customisable graphical user interface.
7. Export tools, to output Z in other notations or for other Z tools. (example, HTML output, LaTeX output, translation to B and JML).
8. Extended versions of the libraries and tools to support Z extensions such as Object-Z and TCOZ.
Enhancements:
- The software was updated to ZML 2.1.
- Object Z and Circus support were added.
- Z checking was updated to reflect bugfixes in the standard.
- Java 1.5 support was improved.
- Major bugfixes and code cleanups were done in all of the components.

Myrinix - Digital Home Edition is meant to be a smart and centralized OS that can be implemented in a home environment.
Myrinix Digital Home Edition can be connected to a TV or other large screen to record and play DVD movies and surf the Internet. It also implements video sharing with the NX technology, and includes the videolan program for broadcasting video or music throughout the network.
Diskless client computers can connect with the server as it performs other tasks. Myrinix - Digital Home Edition is a bootable CD derived from Kanotix.
Enhancements:
- This release fixed a DBUS hang at startup on some computers and detection of USB drives as home at startup.
- An easy USB portable drive installer was added along with a locale changer for quick and easy language changes.

My Knoppix - Digital Home Edition is aimed to be a smart and centerised OS that can implement at home. Imaging you have a Plasma TV or big LCD screen that connect to a server and you can record and play DVD from the server and surf internet with big screen.

Video sharing using NX technology is also possible where you can play and watch different movies using different pc or pda at home. This CD also comes with videolan program where you can broadcast video or music throughout the network.

With the help of the NX technology, you can have a diskless PC that direct connect to the server and share application and files. Therefore server can play the movie on plasma tv while you can write document with openoffice using diskless pc that connect to the server.

Sphene Community Tools project contains a collection of Django applications that are designed to be easily pluggable into any Django project.
It currently consists of a Wiki and a Board application. It contains an example project that allows users to create a community Web site containing the Wiki and Board applications without any further coding/configuration changes.
Enhancements:
- This release adds support for generating PDFs from wiki snips, allows modifications by anonymous users using captchas, adds a new redirect wiki macro to create aliases for snip names, and adds other minor feature enhancements and bugfixes.

DVD Home Video Project is a tool that provides a simple, quick way to transform video on a DV camcorder into a fully functional DVD, including a menu with optional background images and music.

Home Media Librarian provides an application to catalog records, CDs, DVDs, etc.

HML is a pure Java client(GUI) application to catalog records, cds, dvds, etc.
HML requires a JDBC compliant database and driver.

The application is for the average person whom has a record, cd, dvd, tape, etc. music collection and wants to catalog this collection.

It has been tested with JDK 1.3 and 1.4 on Macintosh OSX, Linux, and Windows 2000 using MySQL and Connector J.

The distribution includes the software,documentation, and source code.
