Free suite life software for linux

Soma is a suite of programs that let you play and schedule audio files from the Web.
Soma suite supports extra utilities using run-time loadable modules and includes a broadcasting scheduler, a tool to control it via TCP/IP, and an utility to check configuration file syntax.
Soma project started in summer 2003 to manage the digital version of an activists radio old spools.
The first release just gave just the chance to play random some audio files in a directory using an external program (at that time mpg123). In despite of that this software was never used, i kept on thinking about soma project for some weeks, until i started directly to work with a group called Reload, which was experimenting at the time a project called "eterete" and creating a place for a web radio at Pergola Tribe (a selfmanaged house in Milan).
We used, of course, a release, which was a little bit better to manage the radio-playlist and of course we implemented the software itself. From september till december soma became a software suite, configurable through file and (remote administration...). Thats thanks to the relationships and the inputs that such a community like Reload can create.
A group of passionate activists was able to make broadcastings and broadcast schedules, to find out new problems and to give implementation advices. They also suggest me the idea that soma (originally a simple play-list manager) could become a programs suite, which has a player, a software for deferred broadcasting, a more user friendly admininstration, documentation and distribution.
Some time after came somaplayer and somaadmin. The player was still very behind compared to my implementation ideas. Somadmin was straight away on line and advertised on radio.inventati.org/somadmin/
In January 2004 we showed Soma at the first italian (web and air-waves) radio meeting in Naples.The meeting was technologically and politically profitable and it was an attempt to build up a real radio-network.
Radio.inventati.org was actually the only example od direct cooperation among even very different people: individuals, improvised groups, very old and movement radios and experiences from overseas countries.
On the web site there are occasional streamings, weekly streamings, and 24hrs music flows.
The object of the technical research was a digital environment, which could let individuals or whole communities gain access to a common schedule with resum?s, repetitions, deferred programs, live broadcastings, regular broadcastings as one national and international network.
Soma could satisfy this need and could be easly managed through the web thanks to somadmin, which could update the soma admin in real time.
The developments went on. Somaplayer is now reality. The only music player which can stream directly an mp3, an ogg vorbis, a wav, a track from an audio cd or a streaming directly on an icecast server (icecast 2 or shoutcast) or just play it on a computer using sound drivers or sound daemons.
At the moment more other people work at this project, who debug the software, write docs, work at the website and make installation packages (for debian).
Enhancements:
- This release fixes three bugs related to group permissions, the 31st of months, and an error in libsoma related to buffers and protocols.

Camera Life (FDCL) is a system for cataloging your photo collection. Camera Life project gives users the ability to search your archive by albums that you set up, or by directory structure.

Main features:
Self Updating
- When you add photos to the photo directory you specified when installing, FDCL will cache, thumnail and make public all such photos (Administration: File Manager). You can allow certain user classes to maintain your site by editing the photo descriptions and delete photos that suck.
Topic view and Folder View
- On the main page, users are presented with the option of viewing photos by topic or folder. In topic view, albums (collections of like photos) are categorized by topic (ex: People, Things, My Vacataions).
- Folder view is hierrical and based on the directory structure of the photos. When viewing a photo, users are given the option to view others photos in the same topic or folder.
Image deletion
- When viewing a photo, you have the option to delete it. When a user deletes an image, FDCL actually flags it as non-public. An admin has to actually erase it (Administration: File Manager). And when you erase it, FDCL just moves it to the erased folder. FDCL will never rm your photos. With this in mind, it is sensible to allow users to delete offensive images and admins to erase them.
Themes
- You can easily change the look of the entire site by choosing a different theme (Administration: Customize: Themes). Official themes can be downlaoded from http://fdcl.sourceforge.net other themes are available at your local supermarket (or not).
Users
- Users can anonyously sign up an account. The admins choose which accounts to give privileges to. All authentication is done by random cookies saved in the DB and passwords are salted and hashed.
Logging
- Some actions are logged to the logs table. This is done via the db_log function. You can view the logs (Administration: Log Viewer) and see the audit trail to modifications to the ssytem. You can then rollback specific action (like renaming a photo) by simply choosing the previous state to go back to.
Enhancements:
- This version adds support for Gallery Remote API, microformats, sitemaps, OpenSearch, and RSS feeds, and supports iPhoto photocasting.
- There are now photo keywords with a del.icio.us-like keyword editor.
- Checkpoints allow you to review and approve changes to the site.
- Your users can now order prints online.
- There are also big changes under the hood and some security enhancements.
