Dictem
DictEm is a Dictionary protocol client for GNU Emacs.
Docassemble
docassemble is a system for guided interviews and document assembly. It provides a web application that conducts interviews with users. After each interview, docassemble generates documents in various formats based on user input and preconfigured templates. Though the name emphasizes the document assembly feature, docassemble interviews do not need to assemble a document; they might submit an application, direct the user to other resources on the internet, store user input, interact with APIs, or simply provide the user with information. docassemble was created by a lawyer/computer programmer for purposes of automating the practice of law, but it is a general-purpose platform that can find applications in a variety of fields.
Efax-GTK
Efax-gtk is a graphical frontend for the 'efax' fax program. It interfaces with efax directly, replacing the scripts supplied with 'efax.' It receives and sends faxes; you can also use it to view, print, and manage faxes that have already been received.
Epeios
The purpose of this project was to develop a framework to make powerful, reliable software components that could be used whatever the target platform, the environment or the interface in use. The project source code currently contains useful applications and undocumented related libraries. Among all the software components available, there is, for example, MMUAq, an application which allows to handle several mail accounts as a global one. As each one, it is based on the Epeios framework.
Erw
ERW (Entities and Relationships on the Web) is an innovative system for handling complex databases using a Web browser. It uses the most recent standards endorsed by the W3C to offer to the user a sophisticated environment, similar to a dedicated client. Moreover, the user interface is generated in a completely automatic way starting from a conceptual description of the database by means of an XML-based description language for entity-relationship schemata. From the same description, you can also automatically obtain diagrams and documentation. ERW can be used for content management, in particular when the data is structured along complex relations.
FUSBi
FUSBi, the Free USB Installer, downloads free GNU/Linux Distributions for you and creates bootable USB images. FUSBi supports automated installation of of all the FSF-endorsed Free Software GNU/Linux Distributions, such as gNewSense, UTUTO, Dynebolic, Musix GNU+Linux, BLAG and GNUstep. You can also use it with your local image files. FUSBi is a Free Software itself and is licensed under GNU General Public License version 3 or later.
FXRuby
'FXRuby' is a Ruby extension module that provides an interface to the FOX GUI toolkit.
FbNotex
fbNotex is a free software for macOS useful to manage many textual notes in Markdown format, files and tasks using the Firebird database.
Fldiff
'fldiff' is a graphical diff program that shows the differences between two files/directories, or a file/directory and a CVS or Subversion repository. It is inspired by xdiff (Motif-based) and xxdiff (Qt-based), whose choice of GUI toolkit has hampered their portability to many of the systems.
FlightGear
FlightGear Flight Simulator (often shortened to FlightGear or FGFS) is a free, open-source, multi-platform, flight simulator, created by volunteers. FlightGear is an atmospheric and orbital flight simulator used in aerospace research and industry. Its flight dynamics engine (JSBSim) is used in a 2015 NASA benchmark to judge new simulation code to the standards of the space industry. FlightGear 2020.3 has 700+ aircraft in launcher with 1-click install and update, that can be filtered by advancement level in flight dynamics model (FDM), systems, or art. The rest are available through 3rd party hangars or from development repositories. Broad overview of features as of 2020: 3d buildings & roads for entire planet based on OpenStreetMap (OSM) data and automatic generation, terrain-driven weather simulation, addons, multiplayer environment, orbital rendering, a flexible and open aircraft modelling system, varied networking and interfacing options, multiple display support, multiple flight dynamics engines, multiple rendering pipelines, detailed weather visualisation with ALS renderer, a powerful scripting language, and other features suited for settings in research, industry, DiY projects, and desktop simulation, combined with an open architecture. Used professionally, as well as non-professionally. Platforms: Windows, GNU/Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, others. Compiles for ARM processors, including Raspberry Pi. See: Professional and Educational usages The FlightGear project has been used in a range of projects in research and industry, including by NASA for both Earth and Mars conditions (e.g. in ARES glider design for Mars[1]. It has been used as a research and development platform by various agencies and universities. Other than aerospace research and development, FlightGear is used in aviation or aviation-adjacent industries in various ways. For example, teaching student pilots procedures or handling in a simulator saving expensive flight time - e.g. FlightGear is integrated into various FAA certified training simulators[2], in contrast to use in full-motion (6-DoF) research simulators like at the University of Naples[3] where FlightGear is utilised for physics not just used for visualisation/interface. Similarly, FlightGear has been used to teach air traffic controllers (ATC)[4] and allows for dedicated ATC client/instructor interfaces as well as visuals using real-life ATC tools like binoculars or cameras - teachers can alter traffic, weather, re-create traffic patterns, and so on. Different forms of instructor stations are possible for different areas of instruction. FlightGear has also been used in general education e.g. exhibits in museums[5] and all sorts of DiY projects. About the project The simulator is created by an international group of volunteers, and released as free, open-source GPL software. The goal of the FlightGear project is to create a sophisticated and open flight simulator framework for use in research or academic environments, pilot training, as an industry engineering tool, for DIY-ers to pursue their favorite interesting flight simulation idea, and last but certainly not least as a fun, realistic, and challenging desktop flight simulator. Being free software, FlightGear has historically received development from the science and engineering community. Many contributors have had an academic background in engineering, maths, physics, or computer-science - in addition to some involvement or interest in aviation like being pilots (hobby, professional, test pilots, or retired). This is true especially among long-term contributors, and the academic insight has shaped the project's simulation standards.[6] There are many exciting possibilities for an open, free flight sim. It is hoped that this project will be interesting and useful to many people in many areas. History FlightGear started as an online proposal in 1996 by David Murr, living in the United States. He was dissatisfied with proprietary, available, simulators citing motivations of companies not aligning with the simulators' users, and proposed a new flight simulator developed by volunteers over the Internet.[7] Development of an OpenGL based version was spearheaded by Curtis Olson starting in 1997. FlightGear incorporated other open-source resources, including the LaRCsim flight dynamics engine from NASA, and freely available elevation data. The first working binaries using OpenGL came out in 1997. By 1999 FlightGear had replaced LaRCsim with JSBSim built to the sims' needs, and in 2015 NASA used JSBSim alongside 6 other space industry standards to create a measuring stick to judge future space industry simulation code. The FlightGear project has been nominated by SourceForge, and subsequently chosen as project of the month by the community, in 2015, 2017, and 2019.[8] [9] [10]
