T2 : A system development environment

T2 is a system development environment. It provides a self-contained distribution build kit based on sources with an up-to-date tool and development toolchain (gcc, glibc, uclibc, dietlibc, X.org, KDE, GNOME, etc.). Its basis is an automatic build system that makes it possible to either update a running system or create a binary distribution that can later be deployed via network or physical media. The system is extremely versatile and makes it possible to create sets of programs for different kinds of systems, from routers to desktops, including different architectures and platforms.

Slony-I : A "master to multiple slaves" replication system supporting cascading and slave promotion

Slony-I is a "master to multiple slaves" replication system supporting cascading and slave promotion. The big picture for the development of Slony-I is as a master-slave system that includes all features and capabilities needed to replicate large databases to a reasonably limited number of slave systems. Reasonable, in this context, is probably no more than a few dozen servers. If the number of servers grows beyond that, the cost of communications becomes prohibitively high.

Dual DHCP DNS Server : A combined DHCP/DNS server for small LANs

Dual DHCP DNS Server is a combined DHCP/DNS server for small LANs. Dynamic DHCP allocates/renews host addresses, while the caching DNS server first tries resolving from DHCP-allotted names, then from cache, and only then forwarding to external DNS servers. It has built in dynamic updates, and also supports BOOTP PXE network booting and client specific options. It is self-configuring, doesn't require the creation of zone files, and uses little memory and CPU.

LON-CAPA (The LearningOnline Network with CAPA) : A learning content and course management system

LON-CAPA (The LearningOnline Network with CAPA) is a learning content and course management system. It offers an underlying shared content pool from which instructors across departmental and institutional boundaries can assemble granular learning content for their courses. It has strong assessment capabilities, both formative (homework and in-class using wireless PDAs) and summative (online and bubblesheet exams), with a one-source multiple-target strategy for the content. It offers students portfolio space in which they can stage materials for submission to projects, and provides a number of tools for synchronous and asynchronous student-student and student-faculty communication. LON-CAPA scales well with number of students, as load-balancing is possible across the whole network of servers at participating institutions.
