Perl module for TrueType font hacking. Supports reading, processing and
writing of the following tables: GDEF, GPOS, GSUB, LTSH, OS/2, PCLT,
bsln, cmap, cvt, fdsc, feat, fpgm, glyf, hdmx, head, hhea, hmtx, kern,
loca, maxp, mort, name, post, prep, prop, vhea, vmtx and the reading and
writing of all other table types.
In short, you can do almost anything with a standard TrueType font with
this module.
The Ubuntu Font Family are a set of matching new libre/open fonts in
development during 2010--2011. The development is being funded by
Canonical Ltd on behalf the wider Free Software community and the
Ubuntu project. The technical font design work and implementation is
being undertaken by Dalton Maag.
Both the final font Truetype/OpenType files and the design files used
to produce the font family are distributed under an open licence and
you are expressly encouraged to experiment, modify, share and improve.
The program adds nicely shaped icons a little bit like those of window
manager. You can launch programs by clicking on them. The layout of the icons
is remembered and restored on the next run.
Right now I have put into tycoon support for OffiX drag-and-drop,
so now you can drag icons from the OffiX filemanager into tycoon
icons and have appropriate action invoked. Check out OffiX, it's
very fine package.
The purpose of XBanner is to make the XDM login screen beautiful, as opposed
to the dull and gray login screen that the vanilla XDM gives. The idea came
from Digital's login screen which displays the Digital logo nicely. I use
Linux and wanted to run XDM, but XDM's login screen was such a boring thing,
so I wrote XBanner!

The xcb-util module provides a number of libraries which sit on top of
libxcb, the core X protocol library, and some of the extension libraries.
These libraries provide convenience functions and interfaces which make the
raw X protocol more usable. Some of the libraries also provide client-side
code which is not strictly part of the X protocol but which have traditionally
been provided by Xlib.
The util-cursor module implements the XCB cursor library, which is th XCB
replacement for libXcursor.

Kyoto Tycoon is a lightweight database server with auto expiration mechanism,
which is useful to handle cache data and persistent data of various
applications. Kyoto Tycoon is also a package of network interface to the DBM
called Kyoto Cabinet. Though the DBM has high performance and high concurrency,
you might bother in case that multiple processes share the same database, or
remote processes access the database. Thus, Kyoto Tycoon is provided for
concurrent and remote connections to Kyoto Cabinet. Kyoto Tycoon is composed of
the server process managing multiple databases and its access library for client
applications.
The network protocol between the server and clients is HTTP so that you can
write client applications and client libraries in almost all popular languages.
Both of RESTful-style interface by the GET, HEAD, PUT, DELETE methods and
RPC-style inteface by the POST method are supported. The server can handle more
than 10 thousand connections at the same time because it uses modern I/O event
notification facilities such as "epoll" and "kqueue" of underlying systems. The
server supports high availability mechanisms, which are hot backup, update
logging, and asynchronous replication. The server can embed Lua, a lightweight
script language so that you can define arbitrary operations of the database.
Currently phpMyAdmin can:
* browse and drop databases, tables, views, columns and indexes
* display multiple results sets through stored procedures or queries
* create, copy, drop, rename and alter databases, tables, columns
and indexes
* maintain server, databases and tables, with proposals on server
configuration
* execute, edit and bookmark any SQL-statement, even batch-queries
* load text files into tables
* create and read dumps of tables
* export data to various formats: CSV, XML, PDF, ISO/IEC 26300 -
OpenDocument Text and Spreadsheet, Microsoft Word 2000, and
LATEX formats
* import data and MySQL structures from OpenDocument spreadsheets,
as well as XML, CSV, and SQL files
* administer multiple servers
* manage MySQL users and privileges
* check referential integrity in MyISAM tables
* using Query-by-example (QBE), create complex queries
automatically connecting required tables
* create PDF graphics of your database layout
* search globally in a database or a subset of it
* transform stored data into any format using a set of predefined
functions, like displaying BLOB-data as image or download-link
* track changes on databases, tables and views
* support InnoDB tables and foreign keys
* support mysqli, the improved MySQL extension
* create, edit, call, export and drop stored procedures and
functions
* create, edit, export and drop events and triggers
* communicate in 62 different languages
PostgreSQL is a sophisticated Object-Relational DBMS, supporting
almost all SQL constructs, including subselects, transactions, and
user-defined types and functions. It is the most advanced open-source
database available anywhere. Commercial Support is also available.
The original Postgres code was the effort of many graduate students,
undergraduate students, and staff programmers working under the direction of
Professor Michael Stonebraker at the University of California, Berkeley. In
1995, Andrew Yu and Jolly Chen took on the task of converting the DBMS query
language to SQL and created a new database system which came to known as
Postgres95. Many others contributed to the porting, testing, debugging and
enhancement of the Postgres95 code. As the code improved, and 1995 faded into
memory, PostgreSQL was born.
PostgreSQL development is presently being performed by a team of Internet
developers who are now responsible for all current and future development. The
development team coordinator is Marc G. Fournier (scrappy@PostgreSQL.ORG).
Support is available from the PostgreSQL developer/user community through the
support mailing list (questions@PostgreSQL.ORG).
PostgreSQL is free and the complete source is available.
