Elisa Media Center project was designed to create an open source cross platform media center solution. While our primary development and deployment platform is GNU/Linux and Unix operating systems we also currently support Microsoft Windows and also hope to support MacOSX in the future.

Elisa runs on top of the GStreamer multimedia framework. In addition to personal video recorder functionality (PVR) and Music Jukebox support, Elisa will also interoperate with devices following the DLNA standard like Intels ViiV systems.

The Virtual Data Center (VDC) is a digital library system "in a box" for numeric data.

The VDC is a web application which provides everything necessary to maintain and disseminate collections of research studies: including facilities for the storage, archiving, cataloging, translation, and dissemination of each collection.

It includes on-line analysis, powered by the R Statistical environment. It also provides extensive support for distributed and federated collections including: location-independent naming of objects, distributed authentication and access control, federated metadata harvesting, remote repository caching, and distributed virtual

Free Digital Money projetc is aimed at promoting ideas and stimulating further innovation in the field of digital bearer money.
Digital bearer money is like cash and can be transferred person-to-person without going through a bank or PayPal account.
Scope
The scope of this project is necessarily limited; digital bearer money schemes are difficult to implement.
The project will develop and release a Digital Money system and applications, suitable for teaching and idea-testing.
The current release (V0.2) delivers a basic digital PGP-based coin system.
The next release will provide a transport mechanism to send the coins to an intended recipient; and a client application (a Wallet).
How You Can Help
We welcome technical help in a variety of forms:
- Application writers and visionaries: to use the FreeDMoney software to experiment with new ideas
- Coders: to extend the current software or to implement a completely new payment system
- Vendors of existing digital payment schemes: to implement a FDM interface to their code
Educational Usage
Students (and others) are welcome and encouraged to use FreeDMoney as a basis for discussing other considerations of building a secure payment systems.
Examples:
- What technical peer-review process would be required to be confident in the security of the system?
- What are the limitations in the model that would need to be overcome in order to make this into a technically sound basis for a real-world, real-value payment system?
- Assuming these limitations had been overcome, what operational considerations would need to be addressed to deliver a secure, reliable payment system?
- How do existing payment systems address these issues?
What legal and regulatory issues would need to be addressed in the target jurisdictions?
Enhancements:
- Initial Coin implementation and "test bank" Web application.
