Essential Management provides a project management system for organizing and writing technical documents.

Essential Management is a multi-user project management system for managing intricate and complex information. Its initial purpose was to allow software development teams to create, maintain, track, and store project requirements on a multi-project basis in a multi-user environment. It has now become more abstract in the type of data it can maintain, allowing the easy addition of new data models and other expansions. Information can be stored in any of several database management systems, and can take advantage of a networked DBMS.

The first and most important feature of the application is that data is stored in a central data repository managed by some database management server; initially PostgreSQL fills this role, but support for others are growing. The repository is fully searchable. An alternative data storage format exists in the form of a locally maintained XML file if the user wishes to use it.

One of the key features Essential Management was designed around is the ability to define and maintain relationships between requirements. Using the software requirement model as an example, our application allows users to define projects; each project is composed of zero or more root requirements, which are typically business level requirements. Each business requirement has zero or more sub-requirements, which either refine the parent business requirement or dive into the functional requirements which allow the business requirement to be achieved. This tree continues to branch and grow deeper until the most basic level that the user wishes to define is reached.

In addition the relationship between parent and child requirements, relationships can be defined between requirements not in the same branch. These relationships may have any meaning the user wishes to define and can be unidirectional or bi-directional.

Essential Management implements the concept of user level permissions, which provides a small measure of security for the projects and their requirements. Additionally, creation of and changes to requirements can be traced to the user who initiated the action.

Finally, the application provides a means to track changes made to requirements during their lifetime so it is possible to determine when a change was made, what information was changed and who edited the requirement.

ADSL Bandwidth Management HOWTO project describes how to manage outbound traffic on an ADSL modem.
Emphasis is placed on lowering the latency for interactive traffic even when the upstream and/or downstream bandwidth is fully saturated.
The purpose of this document is to suggest a way to manage outbound traffic on an ADSL (or cable modem) connection to the Internet. The problem is that many ADSL lines are limited in the neighborhood of 128kbps for upstream data transfer.
Aggravating this problem is the packet queue in the ADSL modem which can take 2 to 3 seconds to empty when full. Together this means that when the upstream bandwidth is fully saturated it can take up to 3 seconds for any other packets to get out to the Internet.
This can cripple interactive applications such as telnet and multi-player games.

Enomalism Virtualized Management Console project is a open source web-based systems administrator management tool for XEN hypervisor. Servers with hundreds of multiple isolated virtualized systems can be managed like a standalone server.
Enomalism also includes a virtual server creation wizard and templates to facilitate virtualized server configuration, application deployment and centralized software patch management.
The Enomalism application provides a single interface for managing multiple virtualized servers across assorted platforms. The same administrator can monitor and administer both Linux and Windows servers using the same interface without having to learn extensive OS skills.
Enomalism eases cross-server and large server farm management. Applications can be deployed and updated on many servers simultaneously. The application console provides a centralized look at server information and software versions across all server resources, facilitating versioning and patch management.
Main features:
Enomalism Virtualized Control Center Console
- The Enomalism Control Center is a web-based tool for system administrators to perform many XEN server management tasks from any computer with appropriate Internet or network access.
- Dynamic Real-time Partitioning
- Partition a physical server into 100s of virtualized servers, each with full dedicated server functionality
Resource Management
- Assign and control system resource parameters and re-allocate resources in real-time via a rich web based interface
Virtualization
- Move virtual servers and its application(s) between physical servers transparently with near-zero downtime
Application Repository (package management system)
- Enomalism will feature a package management system & application repository to automate the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages from the system(s).
Open Source License
- Enomalism is Open Source, and is released under an LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public License)

PHP Running Management or phpRunMan is a set of scripts for runners. Users can enter intermediate times of their training or race performance for calculating various statistics (distance, avg speed, time/km, projection on different distance, etc.). In PHP Running Management you can enter comments for the whole run or every intermediate segment so the data can be used as a logbook.

Every run (training or competition) is entered as a list of segments and times. You can specify the number of laps and the "offset" (manual correction) of the distance.

Several views are proposed:

- Year view: displays all the runs with their distance, time, average speed, etc.
- Detail view: shows the profile of a run by segment (time, speed, cumulated distance and other indicators).
- Month view: aggregates runs per month over the selected year, shows every months distance, time, average speed.

All the scripts are written in PHP (requires GD lib activated too) and the data is stored in MySQL database.

Argyll is an experimental ICC-compatible color management system. Argyll Color Management System supports accurate ICC profile creation for scanners, CMYK printers, film recorders, and display monitors.
Spectral sample data is supported, allowing a selection of illuminants observer types, and paper fluorescent whitener additive compensation. Profiles can also incorporate source-specific gamut mappings for perceptual and saturation intents.
Gamut mapping and profile linking uses the CIECAM02 appearance model, a unique gamut mapping algorithm, and a wide selection of rendering intents.
It also includes code for a fast, portable 8-bit raster color conversion engine, as well as support for fast, fully accurate 16-bit conversion. Device color gamuts can also be viewed and compared using a VRML viewer.
Enhancements:
- Support for the USB-based X-Rite DTP94 (AKA Optix) display colorimeter.
- Comprehensive display control adjustment and calibration support.
- Full multi-monitor support for display adjustment, calibration, and profiling on all supported operating systems (MS Windows, OS X, and Linux/X11). Numerous bugfixes, and many minor feature additions and improvements.
