Free ever increasing software for linux

openQRM Plug-ins is a collection of community-supported plug-ins that enable openQRM to manage other enterprise and open source software.
openQRM is designed to deal with all sorts of failures automatically, thus preventing interrupts because of unexpected events.
Implementing openQRM greatly improves the reliability of the x86 data-center.
openQRM is an open source systems management platform which integrates with existing components in enterprise data centers to create scalable, highly available and customizable infrastructures.
openQRM is derived from a proven commercial product and distributed as an open source project through SourceForge, using a modified Mozilla Public License.
openQRMs architecture extends to and embraces other existing data center technologies through "plug-ins."The openQRM project team has created a number of plug-ins for broadly-used open source projects and proprietary solutions, and seeks to recruit community members to assist in additional plug-ins.
openQRM leverages the proven technologies of PXE and NFS along with storing images on central storage to effectively manage the data center.
The project team aims to set the standard in data center management by continuing to provide a "premiere" enterprise-grade project for automating IT infrastructure, and by embracing other technologies through increasing our offering of plug-ins.
OpenQRM.org is the best destination for our projects community to share ideas and innovations. Contributed by Qlusters, openQRM.org offers a range of support and information services to benefit all users of openQRM, including implementation advice, user forums and customer feedback.
Enhancements:
- The plugin was ported to openQRM 3.1.3.
- Nagios now reloads its configuration once every 90 seconds if the configuration files were changed.
- Problems during multiple Nagios reloads were fixed.

Virgil projetc is an new, object-oriented, light-weight programming language that is designed for building software for resource-constrained embedded systems at the lowest level. Microcontroller programmers can now develop complete software systems, including hardware drivers and OS services, in one language, without the need to resort to unsafe libraries or native code.
Virgil also provides a whole-program compiler system that applies novel global optimization techniques to produce efficient machine code that runs directly on the hardware, without the need of a virtual machine or a language runtime system.
Why are microcontrollers important?
Embedded computers are everywhere. While the desktop computer revolution has brought computing to millions of users worldwide, the embedded system revolution has been quietly automating the world we live in--everything from the cars we drive to the roadways we drive them on; from factory production to the goods we use every day. In 2005, nearly 6 billion microcontroller units were manufactured. Today, microcontrollers outnumber people on this planet by more than 5 to 1. Soon, most electronic devices will have a software-programmable embedded computer with capabilities ranging from simple arithmetic to wireless communication, and microcontrollers offer a compelling solution for many of these products.
How is software for embedded systems different?
Software in this environment has very different requirements than traditional desktop and server computers. First, embedded programs must control devices that sense and interact with the physical world, in contrast to desktop and server software that is driven by databases, websites, and input from users. Second, embedded systems often operate in safety critical real-time scenarios, where software is tasked with controlling physical processes and actuators that can pose physical danger to people, infrastructure, and the environment. Third, the cost of software update for billions of devices makes it largely infeasible, vastly increasing the importance of software verification.
How can new language technology help?
Advances in programming languages over the past 30 years have yielded demonstrable productivity gains, including better static checking, more expressiveness, and better portability and maintability. Yet these advances have not been put into practical use in developing embedded systems software. The continued use of unsafe, low-level languages that frustrate automated program reasoning and verification poses a significant stumbling block to progress. While no magic bullet exists for software development, we believe that applying modern technology to this problem will produce real, tangible gains in both software quality and efficiency.

KTemperature is an application to monitor the system temperature. I was motivated to develop this utility because I could not find a simple system tray resident application for monitoring the system temperature using the ACPI interface.
The application obtains the system temperature from the file /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature .
I have been using Linux and Open Source for quite sometime and this is my first contribution. I hope this will lead to many more contributions from me.
Main features:
- Displays temperature in the system tray.
- Auto loading of ACPI thermal module if required and present.
- Detection of ACPI thermal interface if interface is present /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*
- Right click options of Pause, Restart and Update for greater control of polling with ketboard shortcuts.
- Visually represents the temperature by increasing or decreasing the redness of the system tray icon with change in the temperature.
- The polling frequency can be changed from 1 second to 60 seconds.
- Configurable temperature monitoring interface. If the default monitoring point of /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature is not present the icon displays NA instead of the temperature. The monitoring point can be configured in such cases.
- Persistent configuration. The configuration parameters are stored in a file located at $HOME/.ktemperatue . The file is read at application startup and previously stored values are used. If the application is being run for the first time the default values will be used.
Enhancements:
- Created archive to include version information.
- Added keyboard shortcuts to right click menu options.
- Added caption to root password dialog.

Timewave is a space shooter in which the player can alter the flow of time.

Its a top-down space shooter with a twist: your ship has a limited ability to control time. Holding one button causes the game to run at double speed and builds up a meter on-screen. Another button expends the bar but causes the game to play at half speed, affording the player some extra maneuvering room in times of need.

The game will features fix levels of increasing difficulty, followed by a battle against a final boss. It saves high scores and feature a full soundtrack and an array of explosion and gunshot noises.

webERP is an integrated suite of web-based business management software. webERP software covers accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory management and general accounting requirements. The key differences with webERP are:
- Complete commitment to the reliability and integrity of the data
- Accessibility that only internet based software can afford
- Flexibility that comes with having the freedom to the software and with code written so accessibly
- No license or maintenance costs! Courtesy of an active open-source community backing the ongoing development of the system
Reliability is the Number One Priority
An accounting system, more than any other system, needs to be reliable. Without reliability and solid integrition, business management software becomes the source of confusion rather than the authority on what is happening in the business. For this reason "reliability" and the integrity of the data produced is the primary focus of the development team.
A key advantage in ensuring that this fundamental requirement of business software is acheived is the extraordinary scrutiny of critical and highly skilled coders that has been given to webERPs open-source code-base.
Since the intial release of the code in 2003, webERP has been refined and extended but always closely controlled keeping strictly to the original aims - chief among them being reliability!
webERP is built upon the most enduring and solid of software infrastructure - dependencies are deliberately minimised. The PHP scripting language now one of the worlds most popular languages - itself an open-source language which has grown alongside the legendary Apache web-server. webERP uses the PHP native interfaces to Postgres or Mysql RDBMS interfaces for the absolute maximum speed and efficiency to the most respected names in the RDBMS industry. Mysql particularly runs some of the largest web-based databases in the world.
Accessibility for Employees and Customers from Anywhere
- 75% of all people in the world have access to the internet.
- It pervades our daily lives now having quietly infiltrated over the last decade.
- There are internet cafes in most cities of the world and many cell-phones/PDAs have internet access that business people carry.
- A web-browser now represents a very familiar environment for most users.
- A web-based system avoids the requirement for expensive VPN type infrastructure and represents the most accessible network for everyone.
The convenience and value of being able to get the correct business answers literally from anywhere in the world is a major driver for most business software now turning to web-based applications - especially due to the increasing globalisation of business.
Flexibility for Companies, Employees and Customers
With so little dependency on operating systems or hardware webERP can be installed on any operating system that can run PHP - that means a choice of any the main operating systems - Microsoft, Macintosh, Sun, Sco, HP or any Linux distribution.
- The business is not limited or restricted to one hardware or software vendor - avoiding vendor lock in
- Open-source code means that the code itself is available to the business to adapt to its requirements or extend to work in just the way the business wishes it to work. In proprietary systems the code is not available and it is prohibatively expensive to adapt the system to work for the business
- Extensive community of knowlege about the workings of webERP is available to tap into
- As PHP is one of the worlds most popular scripting languages - there are many with the skills to learn webERP code. Indeed a primary objective of webERP is to make the code as understandable as possible to business people.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a couple of bugs - one that would not allow manufactured items cost updates and another that prevented new stock categories from being added.

Devel::DumpSizes is a Perl module to dump the name and size in bytes (in increasing order) of variables that are available at a give point in a script.

SYNOPSIS

use Devel::DumpSizes qw/dump_sizes/;

&Devel::DumpSizes::dump_sizes();

Or,

&Devel::DumpSizes::dump_sizes("/path/of/filename-to-dump-output");

This will print the name of each variable and its size. The name and size are seperated by a ->

Variable name -> Size in bytes

EXPORTS

Exports one subroutine by default:
dump_sizes

This module allows us to print the names and sizes of variables that are available at a give point in a script.

This module was written while debugging a huge long running script. The main use being to understand how variable sizes were fluctuating during script execution. It uses PadWalker and Devel::Symdump to get the variables. It uses Devel::Size to report the size of each variable.

METHODS

dump_sizes

Usage: &Devel::DumpSizes::dump_sizes();

Or

Usage: &Devel::DumpSizes::dump_sizes("/path/of/filename-to-dump-output");
This method accepts one optional parameter that will be used to create the file where the output is dumped.

If parameter is given then two files will be create. One will have extension .my and will contain my variables. The second file will have extension .ol and will contain our/local variables. If no filename is given output is printed on STDOUT.
As of now, the output is sectioned by printing the following at the start:

1. either of my or our/local to specify the kind of variables being reported.

2. output of time().

3. If possible, subroutine name/line number as returned by caller (perldoc -f caller).

All sizes are in Bytes as returned by Devel::Size. I plan to have more information reported in newer versions.
