The Simple RSS Service (SRSSS) generates and serves RSS feeds through a common interface via CGI-enabled webservers. It uses modules to extract items for feeds from various sources, and has a virtual filesystem where feeds can be read by CGI-clients.
The package contains everything needed to start providing RSS feeds, including server and CGI programs, and has support for PostgreSQL, MySQL and MimerSQL.
Main features:
- Modular and clean design based on object oriented C++
- Resource-friendly functions that keeps the load down on web- and database-servers by only parsing data and generate new feeds when required, instead of at every request.
- Interface for run-time loading of modules for data-extraction
- A virtual filesystem stored in shared memory
- Feed extraction via CGI program for easy integration in any CGI-enabled webserver
- A trigger-system that allows external sources to trigger daemon software to fetch new updates
- Easy configuration via a configfiles
- Designed for easy integration towards SQL servers etc
- Support for NetBSD, FreeBSD, OpenBSD and Linux.
Modules:
These modules are currently available for RSS item extraction:
mod_pgsql
This module allows the RSS daemon (rssd) to extract items for RSS feeds from a PostgreSQL database. It can select an entire column as description field for the feed, or base it on a pre-formated string in which variables are replaced with values from columns returned in the SQL query.
This module also support triggering, where any client connected to the same database is able to trigger RSSD to fetch a new update via the SQL LISTEN and NOTIFY functions.
mod_mysql
This module integrates RSSD with the MySQL database, allowing it to produce RSS feeds based on any information stored in databases running on MySQL. The module allows the user to run just about any SQL query supported by the database to extract the needed information to create a feed.
Mod_mysql does also support pre-formated strings to generate the description for each RSS item it produces.
mod_mimersql
This module allows the RSS daemon to fetch items from the MimerSQL database.
The module allows the user to run just about any SQL query supported by the database to extract the needed information to create a feed.
Mod_mimersql does also support pre-formated strings to generate the description for each RSS item it produces.
mod_template
This is a template-module that can be used as a starting-point when developing new modules. It is usable, but does not really provide a usable feature.

Son of Service (SOS) is a multiuser volunteer management database for non-profits, charities, schools, churches, and clubs. SOS will keep track of your volunteers, their contact information, availability, work history, comments, reminders, and relationships.

It will help you quickly find the right volunteer for the job and e-mail him, and it will make reports about how you are using volunteers.

SOS is a helpful tool for organizations with many volunteers or multiple volunteer coordinators.

Your organization helps people for free, and your volunteers work for free. So you know there is a "free lunch."

SOS is free. Its free from charge: notice there is no menu option for purchasing or ordering. But SOS also provides freedom from many restrictions. Download the program, install it, and use it without buying expensive licenses.

Use it on as many systems with as many users and volunteers as you have. Use your choice of server operating system and RDBMS. (You dont need to buy a RDBMS or other server software.) You can even modify SOS to meet your specific needs because the full source is available to you.

Peco::Service is a Perl module with service specifications for Peco IoC containers.

SYNOPSIS

$service = Peco::Service::Factory->new( ⊂routine, @depends );
$service = Peco::Service::Constant->new( $value );

SERVICE TYPES

Peco::Service

A generic service registration class.

Peco::Service::Factory

Factory service registration class. Takes a coderef which is called each time this service is accessed.

News Streamer provides a script to play the most recent France 2 news report with Mplayer.

The French TV station France 2 has been kind enough to make its news broadcasts available on the Internet. However, this has been done in a way thats not particularly friendly to non-Microsoft products.

This script makes things easier by checking for the availability of the most recent news report and then playing it using Mplayer.

The checking for the availability of an episode is done using a mmsrip.

If its useful to you to watch the news at a different speed, a speed parameter may be passed to this script (eg f2 0.5 to play at half speed)

If the most recent episode is not available, this script will keep searching back until it finds the most recent available episode.

It wont keep searching for ever, however, and gives up after 10 episodes.

To be honest, if it doesnt find anything after 10 episodes it probably means that theres a problem at their end, theyve change their URL format, or youve got some kind of network trouble.

ICOnvert service menu is a script/service menu package that adds four entries to Konquerors context menu to convert Windows icon files (*.ico):

1) Extract PNGs

Extracts PNGs as SomeDir/SomeIcon-WxH.png e.g. BlueMoon/BlueMoon-16x16.png, BlueMoon/BlueMoon-32x32.png, etc.

2) Extract PNGs grouped by size

Extracts PNGs as SomeDir/WxH/SomeIcon.png e.g. MoonIcons/16x16/BlueMoon.png, MoonIcons/32x32/BlueMoon.png, etc.

3) Preview in Konqueror

Extracts PNGs to a temporary directory under /tmp, launches a Konqueror window, and deletes the temporary files when that window is closed.

4) Import into current theme

Asks for icon category (apps, devices, etc.) and name, then extracts PNGs into $HOME/.kde/share/icons/[theme]/WxH/[category]/SomeIcon.png where [theme] is taken from $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals.

Note that this will overwrite files if you specify the name of an existing icon. This is a "feature" -- it allows you to replace a certain icon globally. Use with caution, though -- I suggest that you backup your original iconset.

You can convert multiple icons at the same time from within Konqueror or the command line.

News Script allows you to write articles for your website. News Script features a WYSIWYG editor which makes writing an article easy and it supports search engine friendly URLs.
Main features:
- Write, edit and delete text articles
- Use the built-in WYSIWYG editor for formatting
- Create search engine friendly URLs
- List and search in existing articles
- Completely template driven
- Installation routine
How the script works
As the admin you can write new articles and list, edit, delete and search in existing ones.
News script features a WYSIWYG editor that gives you full control over the format of an article. JavaScript is required, though. The script allows you to choose an article date and the date when the article is to be published.
The title of an article appears as part of the URL which is good for search engine optimization. In case your server supports mod_rewrite the article URL looks like a normal URL of an HTML page.
On the front end the visitor will be provided with a list of published articles. As admin you can set the number of articles per page which results in several result pages which can be browsed by the visitor.

Bulletin Board News Server provides a (v)Bulletin Board NNTP interface.

Bulletin Board News Server is a (relatively) quick NNTP interface for vBulletin. It reads directly from the MySQL DB and is therefore independent of the Web frontend.

It doesnt alter read counters, but "forbidden names", name size limitations, user authentication, and anonymous posting (through a "usenet" user) are implemented.

Registered users (either in the vboard or through a proprietary pw hash in the config file) can see the email addresses of others, as far as the owners permit it.
