Academic Teaching Planner is a cross-platform software that runs natively on GNU/Linux, Windows and macOS. It manages data with Sqlite, a well-known and reliable database, while saving attachments (i.e. files of any kind associated with the various sections of the software) in an external folder, in a transparent way for the user. Their number and size are limited only by the space available on the computer in use. Academic Teaching Planner has been written with Lazarus (www.lazarus-ide.org) and uses the Sqlite database through the Zeos components (sourceforge.net/projects/zeoslib).

The program supports geographically distributed development. Aegis supports distributed and multiple repositories, change sets, multiple lines of development, multiple simultaneous active branches, and branching to any depth. It enforces a development process which requires that change sets "work" (they must build successfuly and optionally include and pass tests) before being integrated into the project baseline. It also ensures that code reviews have been performed. The program also supports long transactions, which allows appropriately created changes to be treated as if they were projects and therefore to have changes made to them. This allows a hierarchy of changes within changes, to any depth. Each project is a separate repository, with separately configurable policies.

Agide

The A-A-P GUI IDE is a framework in which separate tools can work together. Like any other Integrated Development Environment it supports:

Creating a project
Building and executing a program
Browsing files
Debugging a program while displaying source code
Framework Agide is not a monolitic application. Separate tools can be plugged in. Thus you are not forced to use one editor. Each tool implements part of the plugin interface. This interface makes it possible for a tool to communicate with other tools, without the need to know how the other tools work. For example, an editor can set a breakpoint in a file, without knowing what kind of debugger is being used. And the debugger can show the PC position in a source file, without knowing what editor is being used.

Audacity: Audacity is a cross-platform multitrack audio editor that lets you record sounds directly or import Ogg, WAV, AIFF, AU, IRCAM, or MP3 files. It features a few simple effects, all of the editing features you should need, and unlimited undo. The GUI is built with wxWidgets and the audio I/O currently uses PortAudio.

Audio Space: AudioSpace calculates the amount of storage required by an audio recording of a given duration, for different sampling rates, resolutions, and numbers of channels. The calculation may be made for uncompressed audio data or for several types of compression. A variety of units may be selected for reporting the result. The calculation may also be made in the opposite direction so as to determine how long a recording will fit into the available space.

Audio-Convert: audio convert is a script that converts between WAV, Ogg, MP3, MPC, FLAC, APE, and WMA files. It has an easy-to-use interface that makes it possible to fill in the tags for a few formats and choose the quality of compression. The script was initially designed for the Nautilus file browser and can be easily installed into Nautilus by copying it to the nautilus-scripts directory. You can then right-click on files and choose "audio-convert" from the "scripts" menu. The script is also known to work on rox or directly from a shell.

AudioMove: AudioMove is a handy GUI-based batch audio file converter/copier program. It can convert various audio file formats to WAV or AIFF format (using libsndfile), and do high-quality sample-rate conversion at the same time (using libsamplerate). It is multi-threaded for maximum throughput, can handle thousands of files per batch, and does recursive directory scans.

Aumix: Aumix is a program for adjusting audio mixers from the command line or scripts, or interactively at the console or a terminal with a full-screen, ncurses-based interface or a GTK-based X interface.

AutoDia: AutoDia is a Perl application designed to allow the easy creation of XML diagrams from various data sources. The output is meant for use with Dia (or any XML parser). AutoDia supports any language through the use of handlers, and a good handler for Perl as well as a simple handler for C++ are included. AutoDia is a modular application that parses source code or data (if a handler is available) and produces an XML document in Dia format, essentially a Dia diagram autocreation package. The diagrams its creates are standard UML diagrams showing dependancies, superclasses, packages, classes and inheritances, as well as the methods, etc of each class. AutoDia supports any language that a Handler has been written for - currently this is Perl (pretty good) and C++ (handles simple C++). It does not need Dia or GNOME to be installed. This means it can bulk process dia data on a server without client stuff installed, ie on CVS commits or intranets.

AutoScan: 'AutoScan' is an application designed to explore and manage your network. Entire subnets can be scanned simultaneously without human intervention. It features OS detection, automatic network discovery, a port scanner, a Samba share browser, and the ability to save the network state.

AutoScrapbook: AutoScrapbook helps automate the creation and maintenance of an online photo gallery. It creates the thumbnails and Web pages for you by asking you for descriptions of the pictures. It works best when run within X (for picture viewing), but you could use it through only a terminal and a separate browser.

Autopackage: 'autopackage' builds packages that will run on different distros. These packages support both graphical and terminal frontends, support dependency checking and resolution, and use deep desktop integration. Tools to enhance the packaged software such as binreloc and relaytool are also included . By providing an autopackage, developers ensure that users always have an easy way of installing the latest release of their software.

Avant Window Navigator

Avant Window Navgator (Awn) is a dock-like bar which sits at the bottom of the screen (in all its composited-goodness) tracking open windows.

Awn uses libwnck to keep a track of open windows, and behaves exactly like a normal window-list:

Clicking an icon switches to that window, clicking again will minimise the window
Right-clicking will bring up a menu extactly like that of what you see on the window-list, allowing you to max, min, close, resize etc the window.
Dragging something on top of an icon will activate that window.
Visually (and quite attractively) responds to 'needs attention' & 'urgent' events
Can show windows from the entire viewport, or just the visible viewport.

Avidemux: 'Avidemux' is a graphical tool to edit video. It can open AVI, MPEG, Nuppelvideo and BMPs. Most common codecs are supported (M-JPEG, MPEG, DivX, Xvid, huffyuv, WMA, etc.) thanks to libavcodec. Video can be edited, cut, appended, filtered (resize/crop/denoise), and re-encoded to either AVI (DivX/Xvid) or MPEG 1/2.

Aview: 'aview' is an high quality image (pnm) browser and animation (fli/flc) player which renders its output as ASCII-art. It is implemented using AA-lib.
