Free independent party platform software for linux

Platform Independent Petri Net Editor project (PIPE) creates and analyses Petri Nets quickly, efficiently, and effectively.

A key design feature is the modular approach adopted for analysis, enabling new modules to be written easily and powerfully, using built-in data layer methods for standard calculations.

Six analysis modules are provided, including Invariant Analysis, State-Space Analysis (deadlock, etc.), and Simulation Analysis and Classification.

PIPE adheres to the XML Petri net standard (PNML). The file format for saving and loading Petri Nets is extensible through the use of XSLT, the default being PNML.

Database Independent Abstraction Layer for C (libdbi) implements a database-independent abstraction layer in C, similar to the DBI/DBD layer in Perl.
Writing one generic set of code, programmers can leverage the power of multiple databases and multiple simultaneous database connections by using this framework.
Main features:
Database-level abstraction:
Your programs dont need to deal with the arbitrary interfaces and oddities of each database library. libdbi handles all the details for you, you just tell it what you want the database to do.
Modularity:
Since database code written with libdbi is not tied to one specific database server, you can effortlessly switch databases or give your users the option to specify their own database settings.
Clean interface:
With ample documentation describing libdbi and its well thought out object-oriented design, programming with libdbi should be less painful than programming with native database libraries. And you only need to learn it once instead of learning each database librarys syntax.
Accommodates coder apathy:
libdbi is written to do The Right Thing(tm), not just some quick hack that does the job in a half-assed fashion. This saves tons of your $100/hour time from debugging, so that you can mess around having fun during the hours that clients are paying you to debug. It also strives to reduce the worldwide crisis of carpal tunnel syndrome, so it uses constructs such as this one to pack multiple function calls into one line, saving you the bother of typing more than you have to:
dbi_result_get_fields(result, "id.%i firstname.%s lastname.%s fractional_value.%f", &id, &firstname, &lastname, &floatval);
Driver interface:
The dynamic linking used by libdbi allows for driver authors to license their drivers however they please - they are not restricted to the GPL or LGPL. Drivers are easy to write, and require no special installation.
Error handling:
Instead of checking every single database call for errors, libdbi gives programmers the option of registering an error handler callback, similar to a signal handler. Because we know youll "forget" to check for errors otherwise :)
Convenience:
Spend your time writing clever code, not reinventing the wheel with your own single-use, #define-abusing, less featureful database interface.
libdbi implements a database-independent abstraction layer in C, similar to the DBI/DBD layer in Perl. Writing one generic set of code, programmers can leverage the power of multiple databases and multiple simultaneous database connections by using this framework.
The libdbi-drivers project maintains drivers for libdbi. Drivers are distributed seperately from the library itself.
There are currently drivers for MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and mSQL. More are on the way.
Enhancements:
- Support for a timezone suffix in time and date types was added.
- Error handling and error reporting were vastly improved.
- Some memory leaks were fixed.

Rainlendar project is a customizable desktop calendar.
Rainlendar is a feature rich calendar application that is easy to use and doesnt take much space on your desktop. The application is platform independent so you can run it both on Windows and on Linux. The appearance can be customized with skins and you can even mix different skins together.
It is possible to use Rainlendar with other calendar applications too. Rainlendar uses the standard iCalendar format to store its events and tasks so you can easily transfer them between applications. You can also subscribe to online calendars and see your Outlook appointments directly in Rainlendar*.
Rainlendar is an unicode application and support localization so you can use it on your own language.
All the coming events are shown in a separate list where you can see the weeks events at one glance. You can decide how many days in advance you want to see in the list. Different events can have a different appearance in the list so you can easily spot the important events from the others. The icons in the calendar are also available in the event list and other windows to make it easier to separate the events.
You can also have a separate list for your long term tasks. The task list can be arranged several ways so that you can keep it better organized. You can also set a due date for the tasks to make sure youll remember to do them on time.
Youll also get an alarm when an event or task is due so that you dont miss it. The alarm can be defined to be set off any duration before the actual event so you have time to prepare for it.
And thats not all. Check the list of features for better overview of all the things Rainlendar can do. If you find it useful go to the download page and get yourself a copy.
*Network shared calendars and Outlook support are available only in the Pro version
Main features:
- Small and lightweight
- Different type events can have different appearence
- Supports Windows transparency
- Synchronizes events between several clients
- Localized for multiple languages
- Shows an alarm when an event is due
- Shows Outlooks appointments
- Includes a todo-list

OS Independent Atomic Operations is a project that intends to develop an OS-independent atomic operations macro library with a common API for the C programming language as a cross-platform alternative to the uncoordinated efforts by OS developers.
As multi-core CPUs and multi-processor computer systems become more and more common, efficient synchronisation between concurrent execution units becomes more important. Atomic operations, that is operations which cannnot be interrupted, are needed to implement semaphores, reference counters and lock-free algorithms.
Operating systems generally provide atomic operation macros but there is no common API and no coordination between vendors and developers of different systems. Thus library and application developers are facing a dilemma. They can take advantage of one of the existing APIs for atomic operations but their software will then be tied to a particular operating system.
Enhancements:
- The initial release contains the Common AO API draft and a skeleton macro library.
- To complete the macros, the project will need contributors with inline assembly skills for various CPU architectures.

phpLanParty project is a Lan Party registration application.
phpLanParty is an application to administer Lan Parties.If you host gaming sites, parties, tournaments, or the like, you may be interested in using this utility.
Main features:
- Its fast, easy, and easily modified to suit your needs.
- Being written in PHP, is multi-platform. Although its only been used and tested on Linux, it should work well on other Unix-like platforms, and probably the Win32 platform, provided the required packages (below) are installed.

JWebPresenter project is a bitmap-image based Web presenting system.
It can add a Web extension to your favorite presentation tool, such as PowerPoint, MagicPoint, or Impress.
This is useful in distance learning, meeting, conferencing, and other situations.
It uses bitmap images to avoid compatibility problems. Other features include platform independence and simplicity.
Main features:
- Bitmap image based presenting: Hence we have no compatibility problem related to character corruption, locale, font, ... You can (and you must) use an authoring tool (e.g., PowerPoint, OpenOffice, MagicPoint, etc) to create the slides, then export into images to be presented with JWebPresenter.
- Platform independent: Any system satisfying the requirements should be OK, including Linux PC, Windows PC, PDA Sharp Zaurus SL-C760 (JWebPresenter SS v1.0x).
- Simplicity: I believe simple thing should be done simply. JWebPresenter SS v1.2.1 package (tar.gz) is only 36KB, including source, pre-compiled binarary, document, sample, and a 18KB (uncompressed size) license called GPL!
- Protocol and Image format independent: All protocols and image formats supported by JRE (Java Runtime Enviroment) should be OK.
- Efficience: There is little overhead in JWebPresenter.
