Free twisted words jabber software for linux

Twisted Storage is an application that will take your data and manage it for you, just like a file system. But Twisted Storage goes way beyond what a normal file system does.
What types of "objects" are stored in Twisted Storage : just regular files. The data stored in the system is expected to be fixed content, meaning it doesnt change at all. If you read the data back, change it, and store it, it is considered a different file. There are plenty of examples of fixed content data : emails you received, movies or mp3 files you made or own, documents you wrote, etc. In fact it is estimated that 80% of the data you have on your computer is fixed, reference data.
Your Twisted Storage system can start out small - a single computer with a few disk drives. When you need more storage you can add more disk drives and more computers. But it has been designed to store petabytes worth of data without requiring any special hardware. For example storing a petabyte worth of data, using the biggest disk drives available today (500 GB), would require 2000 disk drives. To overcome the need of special hardware, Twisted Storage is a scalable, distributed system using ordinary commodity computers. Even so that petabyte of data would require 500 computers networked together and that requires special handling.
Twisted Storage has a few features you wont find in any file system. For example once a file is added to the Twisted Storage repository it can be written in multiple locations simultaneously. The system has been designed to be compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley Act: when an object is added to the repository you can no longer delete it and the integrity of the contents are guaranteed. In addition any access to the object is recorded.
Main features:
Scalable to thousands of servers and multiple petabytes of data.
- Regardless of how much data you want to store,Twisted Storage is designed to handle it. The system can grow from one computer and a few disks to hundreds of systems and thousands of disk drivers.
Automatic data recovery without human intervention.
- Twisted Storage doesnt require backup/restore software or procedures. All data written to the system is recorded in multiple locations.
No special disaster recover procedures.
- So long as you have your systems in physically different locations and you have instructed the software to write the multiple copies to those systems, you have no-hassle disaster recover. If one of the sites goes down, the system will retrieve any data from the other systems. Additionally, once the disaster site is up and running, the system will automatically restore the data to the it.
Simplified configuration.
- To ease management of the system, you can change any one systems configuration and have it ripple through out the system.

Twisted Names project is both a domain name server as well as a client resolver library.
Twisted Names comes with an "out of the box" nameserver which can read most BIND-syntax zone files as well as a simple Python-based configuration format.
Twisted Names can act as an authoritative server, perform zone transfers from a master to act as a secondary, act as a caching nameserver, or any combination of these.
Twisted Names client resolver library provides functions to query for all commonly used record types as well as a replacement for the blocking gethostbyname() function provided by the Python stdlib socket module.
Twisted Names is available under the MIT Free Software licence.
Enhancements:
- Errors in the markup used in API documentation have been fixed.
- A bug where the DNS client would sometimes drop a response has been fixed.
- A bug which prevented non-IN lookups from generating malformed queries has been fixed.

Twisted Packager II (TP2) is a package manager that aims to make live easy - for end users and also developers. In some respects it is similar to Autopackage - it does not intend to replace the "system packaging tool" but instead will sit alongside it to allow application developers an easy way to package software; and system administrators an easy way to install [or remove!] such software.
TP2 excels at handling generic software - and allows a "source" type package [such as itself!] to be installed across multiple architectures and operating systems using the same package.
TP2 is cross-platform; it is currently in use on Solaris, Linux and HP-UX. Soon the intention is validate it also for BSD and AIX.
TP2 is flexible. It supports dependency management, package verification, preview installation and removal, and audit logs all activity.
TP2 is powerful. It supports "namespaces" which allows the same packages to be installed into different areas on the same machine. Non-root users can be given areas which they can manage independently.
Enhancements:
- Initial public announcement, though the software has been in use in several environments for over 12 months.

The Eggdrop Jabber Bot bridges your Eggdrop IRC bot to the Jabber instant messaging network and thus to ICQ (via ICQ transports on the Jabber server). This code is meant to be a demo that it can be done and be useful and to basic start point which you can extent to your needs. The only functionality delivered with this package is right now an invite feature.

Lets assume you are a computer science student and have some great news about new gadgets and you want to tell your friends. They are currently not logged in to the IRC server. Write everybuddy a message to come into the IRC channel? Or even worse tell everybody separately about [your favorite new gadget here]? Of course not! So you just tell the bot "!jabot:invite Come and here about THE new gadget" and the bot will message all the users that have set their IM details an invitation with your message... And they can even answer your reply. They can send one message that will be posted to the channel. For more they will have to get to the channel though.

The Eggdrop Jabber Bot code is built on older versions of TCL JabberLib and TclXML. The needed versions are included with the package. I have patched them with some additional functionality to fit my needs so porting to the new versions would take some time. Anybody interested?

Internet Relay Jabber (or IRJ) is a Jabber client for IRC. Its useful if you like IRC, but your friends use another IM service. Through Jabber, IRJ supports AIM, MSN, Yahoo!, ICQ, etc. It is written in Perl and uses Net::Jabber and Net::IRC.

Just to clear up any confusion, this isnt a transport or a gateway between Jabber and IRC (ie, a server component for many users). Is a program for connecting to IRC and Jabber simulataneosly. It then acts as an IRC bot to relay conversations in IRC to Jabber. It is meant for one user per IRJ process and pretty much requires a dedicated IRC channel. It also works best if you have access to a shell sever of some kind (so IRJ can always be running in the background) and use an IRC server with NickServ and ChanServ so you can restrict access to your IRJ channel.

That said, I personally find it very useful (though I may be biased because its my creation) because Im usually on IRC and dont like to have a bunch of other instant messaging programs open as well as my IRC client.
