Modular Google Talk Bot (gtalkbot) is a modular bot system for Google Talk and other Jabber IM networks.

It uses simple Python plug-ins that register verbs, which appear as the first word of an IM and result in another IM being sent back to the user. An example MythTV bot is included.

To run mbot:

- Write a plugin! There is a sample on in plugins/mythbot.py
- Create a password file at /usr/local/share/mbot/passwd

The format is:

< username >< tab >< password >

For example:

exampleuser@gmail.com banana

- Create a jabber or Google Talk account for the bot
- Start up mbot:

./mbot plugins < botaccount >@gmail.com < botpassword >

- Now you can IM the bot account, and off you go. Youll need to start off with a "auth < password >" to login to the bot

F Modular Synthesizer (FMS) is basically a tool to generate all kinds of sounds. It should work on any up-to-date Linux system.
Main features:
Playing sounds
- with any frequency and volume
- one after another or at the same time (mixer) or both
- stereo (different sounds on different channels)
- with any balance between the two channels
- with built-in sweep that even follows frequency modulation
- like speech synthesis [listen]
- both on-the-fly playing with direct user access and asynchronous, pre-computed output; also combining the two, taking the best of both
- with all modulation options described below
Making noise
- now although it tends to get noisy in any way, we mean real noise here
- in 4 different ways
- nearly-white noise
- narrow band noise
Modulating
- amplitude (volume)
- frequency
- minima, maxima, amplitude and frequency of the modulation (here the "Fully Modular" comes to existence)
- balance, moving the sound from left to right and back in stereo mode
- narrowness of the noise frequency band in many different ways
Making music
- some-kind-of-midi-mapping mode (sound + envelope => instrument, FMS midi file format)
- auto-converter and player for MUS file format, listen [here] (Musplay)
- auto-composer for those who like a rather modern kind of music
- chords
Displaying
- spectrum of a sound
- oscillogram of a sound
- mixes between different sounds with different volumes / frequencies
Saving
- sounds as oscillograms in FMS file format (mathematical description, not complete wavetables)
- sounds as Fourier overtone amplitudes
- music in FMS midi format
- FMS output in wave format
- wave file sounds in FMS file format (auto-converter) - experimental
GUI
- a somewhat ugly and extremely limited tcl/tk gui
- FROCOR, an installation that connects the FMS sound backend to graphical interfaces and outputs
- a fully modular Qt GUI - experimental, but Ill give you a [screenshot]
Enhancements:
- This release fixes all bugs discovered via user feedback, and should be quite stable.
- Sweep frequency modulation is now implemented, and using both blur and frequency modulation on the same sound at the same time is possible.

AlsaModularSynth project is a realtime modular synthesizer and effect processor.
Main features:
- MIDI controlled modular software synthesis
- Realtime effect processing with capture from e.g. "Line In" or "Mic In".
- Full control of all synthesis and effect parameters via MIDI.
- Integrated LADSPA Browser with search capability
- JACK Support
Modular synthesis is one of the most flexible and fascinating ways of making electronic music. The principles of voltage-controlled modular synthesis have been stated in the famous paper Voltage-Controlled Electronic Music Modules by Robert A. Moog , presented in 1964 at the Annual Convention of the Audio Engineering Society.
AlsaModularSynth is a digital implementation of a classical analog modular synthesizer system. It uses virtual control voltages to control the parameters of the modules. The control voltages which control the frequency e.g. of the VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) and VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter) modules follow the convention of 1V / Octave. Read the first two pages of the Moog paper to understand why this logarithmic scale is so important.
A real analog synthesizer has a lot of knobs and switches which give immediate access to all important parameters of the generated sound. AlsaModularSynth can be controlled by MIDI controller boxes, like e.g. the Doepfer Pocket Dial . MIDI events can be assigned to module parameters in a very flexible way by using the Control Center dialog of AlsaModularSynth.

The Asterisk@Home Linux Distribution project enables the home user to quickly set up a VOIP Asterisk PBX. A web GUI makes configuration and operation easy. We also provide an xPL (home automation) interface for easy interaction with other devices in the home.
Main features:
- Asterisk 1.0.9
- Flash Operator Panel 0.21
- Festival Speech Engine version 1.95
- weather agi scripts
- wakeup calls
- Integrated WebMeetMe GUI
- AMP-1.10.008
- CentOS 3.5
- SugarCRM with Cisco XML Services interface + Click to Dial
- Music On Hold (mpg123)
- Fax support (spanDSP)
- xPL support
- Digium card auto-config
AMP (Asterisk Management Portal)
- AMP is a web GUI that allows the configuration of Asterisk without the need for editing config files. If you use AMP be careful not to make manual changes to the config files that will affect AMP?s operation.
Flash Operator Panel
- Flash Operator Panel is a real-time web interface to Asterisk. You can see what all of your extensions, trunks, and conferences are doing. We have extension 200 set up for testing. This is a live extension and will work as soon as a phone is registered to ext 200. The rest of the buttons are dummy objects for examples.
- The op_buttons.conf file has all of the configs for each button in Flash Operator Panel you can edit this using the Config Edit button on the maint menu. You must reboot the Asterisk or restart the panel service after you make changes. The normal config files for Flash Operator Panel end in .cfg we changed them to .conf so they would match the other Asterisk files.
Cisco XML Services
- Asterisk@Home has a Cisco XML Services that can be used to look up contacts in a database. Click on Web Address Book from the Asterisk@Home main menu. (user: admin password: password) and enter all of your contacts and their phone numbers.
Music On Hold (mpg123)
- Asterisk@Home has now uses mpg123 for music on hold. Put a call on hold and they hear music not dead air!
Fax support (SpanDSP)
- SpanDSP allows Asterisk to receive faxes. You can set this up in AMP.

Aero AIO: Folding@Home is a plugin for Aero AIO to monitor your Folding@Home client. It comes with a simple configuration dialog to set the update interval and client path.

It was inspired by navyrains folding-karamba theme.

Folding@Home is a distributed computing project to understand protein folding, misfolding and related diseases (http://folding.stanford.edu).
