Free freely available software for linux

Speak Freely is an application for Unix and Unix-like systems (Linux, FreeBSD, IRIX, etc.) with audio hardware, which allows you to talk (actually send voice, not typed characters) over a network. Speak Freely for Unix uses the workstation audio hardware and network to allow conversations of users over the network.

The phone company never gives you a break! You pay a fortune for a leased line connection to the Internet, and you *still* have to pay every time you want to chat with somebody, even though youre both sitting in front of workstations with digital audio capability, linked by a fast network. Speak Freely for Unix can intercommunicate with

Workstations on local area networks can generally communicate with excellent audio quality and response. A software implementation (developed by Jutta Degener and Carsten Bormann, Technische
Universitaet Berlin) of the compression algorithm used in GSM digital cellular telephones allows operation over Internet links of modest bandwidth. By using GSM compression in conjunction with sample interpolation, the data rate can be reduced to about 9600 baud. Users with CPUs too slow or two heavily loaded to perform GSM compression and decompression in real time may select less compact but quicker to
execute ADPCM coding, using an implementation developed by Jack Jansen of the Centre for Mathematics and Computer Science, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

WMS Javascript Library is an object-oriented JavaScript library for creating dynamic Web-based maps from otherwise static WMS (Web Map Service) images by adding pan/zoom functionality with Google Maps-like draggability.
Custom clickable overlays can be added to create a useful GIS.
WMS Javascript Librarys wmsmap.js purpose is to facilitate the creation of dynamics maps using freely available WMS servers. For example to create the dynamic equivalent of the image above, include the javascript files, define the Layer object, create a new map object, and associate it with an html DIV element.
// define layer object
var myLayer = {
URL: http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?,
LAYERS: [BMNG],
FORMAT: image/jpeg,
BBOX: [0,0,180,90]
};
// create new map object with layer
var myMap = new WMap(map_div,[myLayer]);

The UserLinux Project is developing an effective, streamlined, freely available Linux distribution for businesses of all sizes. The project is not-for-profit with associated services available from a network of commercial service providers.

UserLinux organization will be a not-for-profit organization. The UserLinux product is a GNU/Linux distribution based from Debian GNU/Linux, but streamlined to a smaller set of default applications.

UserLinux will be freely available in both source and ISO formats. UserLinux will be complemented by a worldwide network of (generally for-profit) service providers offering certification, support, and professional services.

UserLinux will offer businesses unrivaled value by providing a strong base of intelligently selected software accompanied by vendor neutral support and certification options.

Security, training, and worker portability issues are greatly reduced through the selection of the prime application for a specific need. There are no licensing fees for software or development tools. Support services are available from a variety of professional service providers, but are never mandatory.

The UserLinux product is a Linux Operating System distribution streamlined to a smaller set of default applications for business use. The UserLinux variants, currently in beta testing, are freely available in both source and CD installation image formats.

UserLinux has four primary configurations:

Enterprise Server:A solid production server featuring Apache, Samba, and Postfix. Great as a web or file server.
Enterprise Desktop:GNOME desktop featuring OpenOffice.
GUI Server:Features a thin Graphical User Interface environment for more convenient local administration. Same core functionality as Enterprise Server.
SOHO Desktop (Small Office/Home Office):A desktop and server in one. A wider range of capabilities to meet the needs of small businesses.

UserLinux will be driven by the not-for-profit UserLinux Organization and backed by a network of for-profit professional service providers. The distribution will be accompanined by available certifications for people, software, and hardware.

Key UserLinux Advantages:

Streamlined:UserLinux is a streamlined distribution with one key application in mind for a given piece of functionality. One web browser, one word processor, one mail client, one web server. This reduces support overhead both for users and for maintaining security.
Standards compliant:UserLinux encourages cooperation with other open source organizations, and values compliance with open standards.
Designed for business:The UserLinux distribution is specially tailored towards the needs of business.
Professional Services:The third party network of UserLinux affiliated commercial Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) allow for choice in professional services and custom application design options. The separation between the UserLinux organization and the ISVs is a win-win proposition allowing both the support advantages of a service provider network and the neutrality advantages of an operating system not tied to a single company.
Flexible:While each UserLinux configuration is designed to support common functionality as shipped, the systems are also open for expansion beyond the standard UserLinux set.
Disclosure:As a not-for-profit organization working with software developed in the open, the UserLinux organization as well as the development process for the UserLinux distribution are in the open. Critical system updates are clearly and promptly announced so systems remain properly secured.
Lack of lock-in:There are no licensing fees for the UserLinux distribution or related development tools. Service is available from your choice of service providers, but is never mandatory.
Free to obtain:ISO images and the source code are freely available.
Inexpensive to maintain:The streamlined nature of the UserLinux distribution assures less software to update. There are no per seat charges or OS licenses to be tracked and audited.
Secure:Leveraging from the power of open source, the code used in the UserLinux distribution not only has thousands of hours of development but thousands of hours of peer review.
Certifications:Hardware, software, support and professional certifications will be available. The standards and corresponding tests will be created by UserLinux with third parties performing the testing activities.
Mature Software:UserLinux is directly based from Debian GNU/Linux, a general focus, free Linux distribution in existence for over a decade. Key components of UserLinux, including the highly popular Linux Kernel and Apache web server, are very mature with millions of critical-use installations.

Internet Registry Routing Daemon (IRRd) is a freely available, stand-alone Internet Routing Registry database server. IRRd supports the RPSL and RPSLng Routing Policy Specification Language standards.

The IRRd package includes all required IRR support services, including: automated near real-time mirroring of other IRR databases, update syntax checking, authentication/security, and notification.

Alambic is an enterprise class PDF creation and distribution solution. Alambic makes it very easy to create and distribute PDF documents inside and outside your company.

Our solution relies on the CUPS enterprise printing solution and on third party PostScript to PDF converters such as Ghostscript or Adobe Acrobat.

Alambic receives PostScript documents and sends their PDF counterpart. It can operate in two modes, HTTP or SMTP.

In SMTP mode, the resulting PDF document is sent directly to the requesting user.

In HTTP mode, the PDF file is stored on the Alambic server and a URL is sent to the requesting user for later retrieval.

Creating PDF documents becomes as easy as those three steps:

Select the document to convert to PDF.

Print the selected document to the special Alambic printer.

Receive the PDF file or a link to it by email.

The Alambic solution is freely available under the GNU General Public License. It is distributed as source or as binary for the Linux platform on Intel processors.

Though the Alambic solution is to be deployed on Unix servers, its usage is possible from any client, be it Windows, Mac or Unix, that can produce some PostScript output and send it to a network printer.
