Free ims software for linux

GaimSMS is a Gaim plugin which will forward all incoming IMs to a mobile phone number via SMS when you are idle. At present it only works with SprintPCS phones, however it should be possible to add support for other SMS gateways easily. (I have since learned that SprintPCS phones dont actually support SMS, its some ghetto imitation of SMS).

I am presently looking for an easy way to add SMS support for other phone networks and have come across a couple of different ways to reuse some already written code, but both would involve switching to perl or calling Perl code from C (which I have learned is possible). One is the WWW::SMS perl module which a reader commented on my blog entry for today, the other is to borrow some code from the cellaim project.

Short Guide to install gaimsms (this has been tested with libcurl2 7.10.5 and gaim 0.64).
IT DOES NOT BUILD AGAINST gaim 0.66 for reasons the author does not comprehend
1. Place gaimsms.c in the plugins directory of a copy of the gaim source.
2. Run ./configure on your copy of the gaim source if you havent already.
3. Modify the Makefile in the plugins/ directory in the following way:
add -lcurl to your LIBS line so that it looks something like this:
LIBS = -lcurl
4. Run make gaimsms.so
5. Copy gaimsms.so to your gaim plugins directory (either /usr/local/lib/gaim
or /usr/lib/gaim )
6. Select it from the list of plugins during runtime and add your phone number

On-screen display overlays shaped text on your screen; it has a similar effect as a televisions on-screen volume controls, etc. This possibility is due to XOSD library. Gaim OSD is an implementation of the XOSD library, allowing Gaim to display several notification messages. The current features are listed below.
Main features:
- OSD display
- sign on/off status
- away/back status
- idle/unidle status
- IMs, (both received and displayed)
- new conversation status
- chat invitations
- join/leave messages
- chat messages, with special nick-highlighted display
- warning messages
- fully customizable, all OSD display options can be
- shown only when here and/or
- shown only when away
- customizable display timeout
- different colors
- each OSD line can be fully customized
- Font configuration
- Font shadow
- Horizontal/vertical alignment
- Horizontal/vertical offset
- Text substitutions, (including away messages - GAIM PATCH REQUIRED)
- Limit the maximum message length (helpful for long away messages)
- Mutli-line and mutli-page messages (for long messages)
- OSD toggle icon for each conversation/chat window
- Per-buddy customization
- Quick on-screen display enable/disable
- Support for changing the number of OSD lines
- Log messages to conversation/chat windows

Radar Tools in short RAT is a small collection of tools for processing SAR (synthetic aperture radar) remote sensing data, packed together in a nice graphical user interface.
Our motivation to start the development of RAT is that modern remote sensing software like Erdas Image or ENVI include only some basic SAR functionality. Advanced algorithms have to be implemented by oneself.
So we descided to start the development of RAT. RAT should bring modern SAR algorithms to a wider user-base by simplifying in particular the data handling and processing of complex SAR data.
RAT is planned as an ongoing community effort, i.e. there will be no final version with a certain functionality. It is our idea to include more and more SAR tools in future and to make them freely available to the scientific community.
We of course also hope for external contributions. Because of this, the programming interface of RAT is kept quite simple and adding own functions is quite easy. Function templates are included in the distribution and a step-by-step description of how to program a RAT module will appear soon in the documentation.

This is a Gaim plugin that automatically blocks nicknames or messages based on regular expression matches. Right now it only works with yahoo since those are the only chat rooms I visit using gaim.
Installation:
To install, copy autoblock.c and autoblock.h to /path/to/gaim/sources/plugins and type "PLUGIN_LIBS=-lpcre make autoblock.so".
Then copy autoblock.so to your gaim plugins directory (On unices it is ~/.gaim/plugins).
The files ab_nicks.txt and ab_messages.txt are supplied; I spent a little time culling them; and they get most of the bots in the rooms I have been in.
Copy them to your gaim home dir (~/.gaim on unices).
Enhancements:
- Really fixed the problem with blocking IMs even when not chatting.
- Fixed the hang/crash when a non-yahoo IM is recieved.
NOTE - many of the preferences that used to be available are no longer available due to changes in the Gaim API and program flow.

ATutor is an Open Source Web-based Learning Content Management System (LCMS) designed with accessibility and adaptability in mind.
Administrators can install or update ATutor in minutes, and develop custom templates to give ATutor a new look. Educators can quickly assemble, package, and redistribute Web-based instructional content, easily retrieve and import prepackaged content, and conduct their courses online. Students learn in an adaptive learning environment.
ATutor is the first fully inclusive LCMS, complying with the W3C WCAG 1.0 accessibility specifications at the AA+ level, allowing access to all potential learners, instructors, and administrators, including those with disabilities who may be accessing the system using assistive technologies. Conformance with W3C XHTML 1.0 specifications ensures that ATutor is presented consistently in any standards compliant technology.
ATutor has also adopted the IMS/SCORM Content Packaging specifications, allowing content developers to create reusable content that can be swapped between different e-learning systems. Content created in other IMS or SCORM comformant systems can be imported into ATutor, and visa versa. ATutor also includes a SCORM 1.2 Runtime Environment (LMS RTE3) for playing and managing SCORM based Sharable Content Objects (SCOs).
ATutors base in Open Source technology makes it a cost effective tool for both small and large organizations presenting their instructional materials on the Web, or delivering fully independent online courses. Comprehensive help is available through the ATutor HowTo documentation, through a number of support services, or through the public forums, and full language support is available through the ATutor Translation Site.
