Open LMS project consists of a learning management system.
OpenLMS is a Learning Management System (LMS) made at the Department of Geography, NTNU.
The system is a fully functional LMS with support for group collaboration, file sharing, distribution of lectures, and other supporting features.
It is a good tool for distributing lecture notes to groups of students, and for facilitating collaboration for groups of students and teachers.
The system has successfully been used at the Dept. of Geography at NTNU in Trondheim Norway, for three years. It is continuously further developed and was released as OpenSource software last year.
OpenLMS now supports English (core language) and Norwegian. Steps has been taken to translate for further languages.
Scorm, Dublin Core, AICC etc. could be important factors in systems like OpenLMS and similar LMS/LCMS. Support for exporting objects for these standards will probably be incorporated into OpenLMS. HOWEVER - the focus of standards for the exchange of learning objects often overshadows the lack of a culture for sharing within the organizations in question.
This very resource-demanding part of a LMS/LCMS is therefore not focused at the present stage in the development.
Main features:
- upload lecture notes (any filetypes)
- distribute levture notes
- groupware / email to groups
- personal file archive
- assignment administration
- media archive and termbank
- organize webresources
- language support for norwegian, english and german (may easily be extended)

Open Steelball project is a futuristic soccer game.

Open Steelball is an SDL game, which is similar to "SpeedBall" on the Amiga. It is a futuristic soccer game for one or two where 5 players can be controlled per side.

The ball can be passed, shot, lobbed, and other players can be tackled.

Goalkeepers are controlled automatically.

This is the First Alpha Release.

Open Simp-X provides a scalable Internet management platform.

Open Simp-X is a powerful Internet platform for everyone, attempting to change programming for the Internet with sharing database information. It strives for scalablility, reliability, and ease of use.

The platform consists of a client/server pair. Security is a top priority, and data transfers are encrypted. Open Simp-X achieves scalability through plugins.

Plugins can collect information, manipulate it, and send it back to the database. Writing plugins is easy since they do not have to worry about how to send or receive their information, and can focus on manipulating it.

Open Simp-X can be set up to retreive data through a LAN or through a Web server.

Open Java Console is an extension which provides the ability to open the Java Console in Firefox.

This extension provides an option on the Tools menu that opens the Java Console, and a toolbar button in the JavaScript Console that also allows the console to be opened. The extension also adds the keystroke Ctrl+Shift+J to spawn the console from the keyboard, from either a browser window or the JavaScript Console.

New features in 1.0 include the addition of two preferences:

A preference for logging a message to the JavaScript Console whenever the Java Console is triggered

A preference for showing any exceptions generated by the browser when starting the Java Console

Mozilla 1.X has this feature, but Firefox does not, making access to the console difficult unless this extension is used.

When the Console^2 extension is installed, the Ctrl+Shift+J keystroke will trigger the Error Console instead of the Java Console from a browser window. Ctrl+Shift+J will still work from the Error Console.

The following languages have been added to the 1.6 release: Hungarian and Dutch.

Open BEAGLE is a C++ Evolutionary Computation (EC) framework. It provides an high-level software environment to do any kind of EC, with support for tree-based genetic programming, bit string and real-valued genetic algorithms, and evolution strategy.
The Open BEAGLE architecture follows strong principles of object oriented programming, where abstractions are represented by loosely coupled objects and where it is common and easy to reuse code.
Open BEAGLE is designed to provide an EC environment that is generic, user friendly, portable, efficient, robust, elegant and free.
With Open BEAGLE, the user can execute any kind of EC, as far as it fulfills some minimum requirements. The only necessary condition is to have a population of individuals to which a sequence of evolving operations is iteratively applied.
So far, Open BEAGLE supports most mainstream EC flavors such genetic programming, bit string and real-values genetic algorithms, and evolution strategy. It also includes support for advanced EC techniques such multiobjective optimization and co-evolution.
The user can take any of these specialized frameworks and modify them further to create his own specialized flavor of evolutionary algorithms.
Main features:
User Friendliness
- Considerable efforts were deployed to make the use of Open BEAGLE as easy and pleasant as possible. Open BEAGLE possesses several mechanisms that offer a user friendly programming interface. For example, the memory management of dynamically allocated objects is greatly simplified by the use of reference counting and automatic garbage collection. The programming style promoted is high-level and allows rapid prototyping of applications.
Portability
- The Open BEAGLE code is compliant with the C++ ANSI/ISO 3 standard. It requires the Standard Template Library (STL). No specific call in the core libraries are made to the operating system nor to the hardware.
Efficiency
- To insure efficient execution, particular attention was given to optimization of critical code sections. Detailed execution profiles of these sections were done. Also, the fact that Open BEAGLE is written in C++ contributes to its overall good performance.
Robustness
- Many verification and validation statements are embedded into the code to ensure correct operation and to inform the user when there is a problem. Robust mechanisms for periodically saving the current evolution state have also been implemented in order to enable automatic restart of interrupted evolutions.
Elegance
- The interface of Open BEAGLE was developed with care. Great energy was invested in designing a coherent software package that follows good OO and generic programming principles. Moreover, strict programming rules were enforced to make the C++ code easy to read, understand and, eventually, modify. The use of XML as file format is also a central aspect of Open BEAGLE, which provide a common ground for tools development to analyze and generate files, and to integrate the framework with other systems.
Free Sourceness
- The source code of Open BEAGLE is free, available under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL). Thus, it can be distributed and modified without any fee. (See section copyright for further details.
Enhancements:
- Several fixes to allow compilation on Mac OS X
- Fixes in headers inclusion to allow precompiled headers

Open-RJ is an library that implements readers for the Record-Jar structured text file format. Mappings are provided to several languages and technologies, including C++, COM, D, Java, .NET, Python, Ruby, and STL.
In addition to platform-independence, the library focuses on small runtime costs - memory and speed - and the classic UNIX attributes of discoverability and visibility.
As described in the excellent book "The Art Of UNIX Programming", a Record-Jar structured format file consists of records and fields.
A field is a single line - optionally extended with trailing - that contains a name, separated from an optional value by :.
A record is a list of fields, whose contents are arbitrary and can vary between records in the same database. Records are separated by a line that begins with "%%". The record separator also acts as a comment, so anything can come on a record separator line after the first two characters.
A database is a correctly parsed Record-Jar file. The Open-RJ API (and language mappings) provide access to all the records in the database and the complete set of fields. Hence, you may work with fields on a per-record basis, or treat the database as a single record and with all fields in the database.
A very simple Record-Jar file, representing a Pets Database, is shown in the table on the right-hand side of this page.
And thats pretty much all there is to it. There are no restrictions on what fields may be in a record, and no controls over whether all records have the same fields or not. Thats the job of higher layers of application functionality. We keep Record-Jar simple so its reliable, portable and fast, and its those things in spades!
