Here’s the projects that we’re featuring this week:

  • Bridge Linux

    Bridge Linux is an Arch derivative that includes a GUI and standard applications. It intends to stick with an Arch base and will not fork.

  • GTK+ for Windows Runtime Environment

    This is the GTK+ Runtime Environment Installer for Windows. It includes all of the files required to run GTK+ applications on Windows. Some support tools are also available.

  • SCons – a Software Construction tool

    SCons is a software construction tool (build tool, substitute for Make) implemented in Python, based on the winning design in the Software Carpentry build tool competition (in turn based on the Cons build tool).

  • jBPM

    jBPM is a business process management system. The light-weight, embeddable engine can execute native BPMN2. jBPM offers eclipse-based and web-based tooling for developers and business users to create, monitor and manage your processes.

  • OpenMediaVault

    OpenMediaVault is the next generation network attached storage (NAS) solution based on Debian Linux. It contains services like SSH, (S)FTP, SMB/CIFS, DAAP media server, RSync, BitTorrent client and many more. Thanks to the modular design of the framework it can be enhanced via plugins. OpenMediaVault is primarily designed to be used in home environments or small home offices, but is not limited to those scenarios. It is a simple and easy to use out-of-the-box solution that will allow everyone to install and administrate a Network Attached Storage without deeper knowledge.

  • Free Download Manager

    Using this free download manager and accelerator, you can download files and complete web sites up to 6 times faster than before. Also we plan to port it to Linux and Mac OS.

  • Quite Universal Circuit Simulator

    Qucs is a circuit simulator with graphical user interface. The software aims to support all kinds of circuit simulation types, e.g. DC, AC, S-parameter, Transient, Noise and Harmonic Balance analysis. Pure digital simulations are also supported.

  • VDrift

    A free racing simulator with excellent physics and graphics.
