Free from one software for linux

Joone project is a FREE Neural Network framework to create, train and test artificial neural networks. The aim is to create a powerful environment both for enthusiastic and professional users, based on the newest Java technologies.
Joone is composed by a central engine that is the fulcrum of all applications that are developed with Joone. Joones neural networks can be built on a local machine, be trained on a distributed environment and run on whatever device.
Everyone can write new modules to implement new algorithms or new architectures starting from the simple components distributed with the core engine. The main idea is to create the basis to promote a zillion of AI applications that revolve around the core framework.
Main features:
Architecture
- The Joones framework is built with a modular architecture: the core engine is separated from the visual interface and permits easily to implement any new application based on it.
- Joone is portable, being written in 100% pure Java. It can run in any environment, from big multiprocessor machines to small palmtop devices.
Neural Networks usability and transportation
- The neural networks based on Joone are usable stand-alone (separated from the framework that has created or trained them).
- The Joones based neural networks can be transported using common protocols (like http or ftp) to run on remote machines
Framework expandability
- The framework is expandable with more components to implement new learning algorithms or new architectures.
- With Joone its possible to implement any kind of optimization; there are two main methods to find the best solution to a given problem (i.e. to find the best neural network): local optimization and global optimization techniques. The local optimization is obtained applying some internal mechanism (the most famous is the momentum), the global optimization, instead, try to find the best solution applying some external technique to select the best performing NN among a predefined group of NNs (like genetic algorithms). Both are implemented with Joone, and many new optimization techniques can be experimented thanks to its expansibility.
Multithreading and scalability
- Joones core engine is based on a multithreaded engine, capable to scale using all the computing resources available.
- Joone provides the professional users with a distributed environment to train many neural networks in parallel on several machines.
Licensing
- Joone is freely usable. Its license is the Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
- Youre encouraged to try it and use it for whatever (both commercial and academic) application.
Whats New in 1.2.1 Stable Release:
- This release adds support for the Groovy scripting language.
- LogarithmicPlugin has been added, to apply a logarithmic transformation (base e) to input data. "Save as XML" has been added to the GUI Editor, in order to permit saving a neural network in XML format.
- A number of bugs have been fixed, including a problem that prevented SangerSynapse from learning when in training mode.
- The inspection panel no longer shows the biases for Layers for which this doesnt make sense.
- This release fixes the lack of the first column when the inspected values were copied in the clipboard.
Whats New in 2.0.0RC1 Development Release:
- Performance was improved by 50%, thanks to heavy refactoring of the core engine, by adding the single-thread mode.
- A set of tools was added in order to hide the complexity of the API.
- A new Image I/O component has been added in order read and write directly from/to image files.
- A new SoftMax Layer has been added to build neural networks able to resolve 1 of C classification problems.
- The usability of the property panels has been improved by adopting a new file chooser panel and a visual calendar panel.
- Several bugs were fixed and the documentation has been updated with the new features.

The streamTranscoder is a multi-platform utility which can be used to transcode media streams from one format to another, and from one server type to another. It can read in streams of type MP3 and Vorbis from most servers (Icecast, Icecast2, Shoutcast), convert it into various formats, and send to various streaming servers.
Main features:
- Shoutcast - MP3 (with metadata and without)
- Icecast 1.x - MP3 (with icy metadata and without)
- Icecast 2 - MP3 (with metadata)
- Icecast 2 - Vorbis (with metadata)
- Peercast - MP3 and Vorbis
- KasterBlaster - MP3 (no metadata)
Enhancements:
- src/: streamTranscoder.iss, liboddcast/liboddcast.cpp, libtranscoder/transcurl.cpp: Fixed problem with transcoding fromStereo to Mono on win32 platforms (in some cases) Added
- CURLOPT_NOSIGNAL to prevent problems with getting SIGPIPEs..

TurboX2 is a client for the XMMS2 music player that exploits all the possibilities of the Web 2.0 buzzword.

It allows for complete manipulation of the active playlist, and browsing of the Media Library from one dynamically generated page. TurboX2 also has up to the second playback information, including a functional seek bar and volume control.

One-JAR is a simple solution to the problem of distributing an application as a single jar file, when it depends on multiple other jar files.

It uses a custom classloader to discover library jar files inside the main jar.

Perl Audio Converter (PAC) is a tool for converting multiple audio types from one format to another. It supports MP2, MP3, Ogg Vorbis, FLAC, Shorten, Monkey Audio, FAAC (AAC/M4A/MP4), Musepack (MPC), Wavpack (WV), OptimFrog (OFR/OFS), TTA, LPAC, Kexis (KXS), AIFF, AC3, Lossless Audio (LA), AU, SND, RAW, VOC, SMP, RealAudio (RA/RAM), WAV, and WMA.
It can also convert audio from the following video formats/extensions: RM, RV, ASF, DivX, MPG, MKV, MPEG, AVI, MOV, OGM, QT, VCD, VOB, and WMV. A CD ripping function with CDDB support, batch and playlist conversion, tag preservation for most supported formats, independent tag reading/writing, and extensions for Konqueror and amaroK is also provided.
Enhancements:
- Added: MP4::Info dependency IO::String to pacpl-install
- Updated: License GPLv3
- Bug Fix: Directory conversions. pacpl was claiming the directory was empty and prompting to use the --recursive option...Thanks to John Meyer for the report.

Transcend can best be described as retro-style, abstract, 2D shooter. The graphics are geometrical, and the pace is sometimes frenzied.

Two features set Transcend apart from other games. First, its dynamic graphical engine, which can smoothly morph from one complex shape to another, produces striking displays.

Combining these dynamic shapes with subtle randomizations makes each play through a Transcend level visually different from the last. The second novel feature is Transcends musical power-up system.

As you play through a level, you are simultaneously assembling an abstract visual collage and arranging a unique piece of music. Transcend merges video games with pure art---it can be viewed either as a game or as a multimedia sculpture.

Though I first read it after developing Transcend, the Scratchware Manifesto captures the spirit that motivated me to develop a game.
