Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Primary goals are: Create fully modularized sound driver which will support kerneld/kmod, Create new ALSA Kernel API which breaks most of limitations of current OSS API, Ensure compatibility with most binary OSS/Lite applications, Create ALSA Library (C,C++) and ALSA Manager hot GGI Project Homepage GGI aims at unifying the way applications access the user display by defining a generic abstraction of the notion of graphic display. GGI defines high-level abstraction of input sources and displays, with a small set of management functions and general drawing operations. In GGI, the abstraction of a display is called a visual, and the actual device to which a visual is bound is a target. Targets can be anything from an X11 window to a 10 meter wide multi screen display. The association of a visual and a target is done at runtime by GGI internals and the process is transparent to the application. hot Mozilla The Netscape 5 project - "free" source code, coordination and development resources. hot 3Dsia Project aims to create a Virtual Reality Shell for Linux Aefirion started to reach an open source telecommunication switch that can be classified as Class5 Affero Project created to facilitate funding for Free Software and Open Source projects and to facilitate more effective dialogue among groups AlcoveBook groups DocBook-centered tools mainly developed at Alcove including the AlcoveBook DTD, Stylesheets and Tools Arabeyes a Meta project that is aimed at fully supporting the Arabic language in the Unix/Linux environment.
