10 years! 1
10 Years! is a wallpaper made with The GIMP for the 10 year anniversary of the Debian project. The text on it is the email from Ian Murdock announcing the first release of Debian.
Amrita VPN 0.98-2
Amrita VPN is an easy-to-use open source VPN solution that runs on the GNU/Linux platform. The implementation is fully in userspace and requires no kernel patches or enhancements. It uses SSL for strong encryption and authentication.
apt4rpm 0.65.1 (Stable)
The superb Debian package installer APT has since some time become available for RPM-based distributions. However, to install RPM packages with apt, an apt repository is needed. apt4rpm creates the apt repository from an RPM repository. The rpm repository can be located locally or remotely. Once the apt repository has been created with apt4rpm, the apt tools can be used to install RPMs.
avidemux 2.0.14 (Development)
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.
Backpack 1.0
Backpack is a little script that performs a selective backup of selected directories and Debian package configurations, regularly adding support for more backup options such as MySQL, etc.
Binc IMAP 1.2.0b1 (Stable)
Binc IMAP is a modular IMAP4rev1 server for Maildir. It strives to be stable, fast, flexible, and RFC compliant. It is designed to be familiar for qmail-pop3d users, uses checkpassword to authenticate, and it is very easy to set up.
Cantus 1.99.3-1 (Development)
Cantus is an easy to use tool for tagging and renaming MP3 and OGG/Vorbis files. It has many features including mass tagging and renaming of MP3s, the ability to generate a tag out of the filename, filter definitions for renaming, recursive actions, CDDB (Freedb) lookup (no CD needed), copy between ID3V1 and ID3V2 tags, and a lot more.
CDDB / CDDB_get 2.22
The CDDB/CDDB_get Perl module gets the CDDB info for an audio CD. The included script was intended as a demo for CDDB_get, but over time it has gained powerful features like the ability to write to a database, offline mode, HTTP mode (including proxy), saving in standard XMCD format, and writing 'lame' commands.
Coherent Mail Gateway 0.3.0
Coherent Mail Gateway is intended to be a very easy to set up MTA using SMTP and POP3. Greylisting is used on the SMTP daemon to reduce spam. In addition, quite a lot of checks on the validity of information from the SMTP client (such as claimed server name and sender) are carried out, and anyone caught telling lies is disconnected. As well as greylisting, black and white listing is also supported. The target market is small offices and home users with static IPs. Others can use the system but its value will be limited.
Courier 0.43
The Courier mail transfer agent (MTA) is an integrated mail/groupware server based on open commodity protocols such as ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, LDAP, SSL, and HTTP. Courier provides ESMTP, IMAP, POP3, Webmail, and mailing list services within a single consistent framework. Individual components can be enabled or disabled at will. Courier implements basic Web-based calendaring and scheduling services integrated in the Webmail module.

Courier-IMAP is a lightweight server that provides IMAP access to maildir mailboxes. It supports folders, custom authentication modules, and virtual mailboxes. A compatible POP3 server is also provided. The source code is based on the IMAP module in the Courier Mail Server, but this build is independently repackaged to work with any other MTA that delivers to maildir format mailboxes.
CoverViewer 0.1.10
CoverViewer is an XMMS plugin that displays images related to the files being played. The displayed image can be a copy of the cover of the album you are playing or anything else you want. It creates a personalised skin for itself using the current XMMS skin, and you can control song playing from its interface. It includes a function that can automatically retrieve covers you don't have from the Internet, using file tag information to get the artist and album name.
cvsd 0.9.20
cvsd is a wrapper program for CVS in pserver mode. It will run 'cvs pserver' under a special uid/gid in a chroot jail. cvsd is run as a daemon and is controlled through a configuration file. It is easy to configure and provides tools for setting up a rootjail and managing repositories.

cwISPY is an ISP billing and management system. It features automatic generation and emailing of invoices and statements, a customer interface, a ticket system, DNS management, and much more.
Darkbot 7rc9
Darkbot is a very fast and small IRC bot written in C. Originally created as an aid for help channels to answer repeated questions from its virtually unlimited database, it has became a very popular talking robot in a generic sense, being used all over IRC networks for different purposes and in 18 languages. Data can be added to it and managed dynamically online or edited in its database files offline. An extensive but easy-to-understand list of commands and features, including some channel operation functions and levels of protection, makes Darkbot a very flexible but somehow powerful and complex robot, with almost human conversations and reactions.
Dropbear SSH Server 0.35
Dropbear is an SSH 2 server, designed to be usable in small memory environments.
Eternal Lands 0.7.8
Eternal Lands is a multiplatform (Windows/Linux) 3D graphical online world that will evolve into a fully-featured MMORPG.

furious_tv 1.0
furious_tv is a PVR backend that uses an SQLite database to hold XMLTV listings data. Using that data, it can automatically execute commands to record TV shows off of a capture device (multiple capture devices are supported). If Shuriken is installed, furious_tv can also automatically power the system on/off for recordings to save power. General Applet Interface Library 0.5.0pre1 http://freshmeat.net/releases/132895/ The goal of the General Applet Interface Library is to give programmers a simple yet powerful applet interface. This library supports both dockapps and GNOME 2 panel applets. The applet programmer doesn't have to care about if the applet will be used on the Gnome panel or in the dock. The library handles that. Over 50% of the code in a dockapp and a GNOME 2 Panel applet does only one thing, setting up the applet window. With GAI, this can be reduced to just a few lines of code.
Infernal Contractor II 0.1.1
Take on the role of the Infernal Contractor and raise mayhem in this fast-moving 3D office simulation. This episode sees you racing round the office against the clock in an attempt to prove your fitness to the demanding recruiters.

Hear encouraging phone calls from your agent, the harsh judgements of the recruiters, and the final countdown as you race for the finish line in this interactive simulation.
Java SQL Admin Tool 2.3.1
Admin is entirely written in Java. It uses Swing GUI Components and JDBC to connect to databases. It has been succesfully tested with MySQL, InstantDB, Oracle, Empress, and PostgreSQL. You can have a tree view of the RDBMS or pick a single instance to have a look at its metadata. It allows you to create, modify, and drop tables and to create indices on a table. The dynamic form makes it easy to enter data into a certain table, and the guided query makes it easy to retrieve data from a table and to export it. Java developers will probably enjoy the code generator doing an OO relational wrapper and a swing GUI for them. You can also export and import data and transport it from one DBMS to another.
JavaDBF 0.3.2
JavaDBF is a Java library for reading and writing Xbase files. It does not implement JDBC interfaces, but has a simple API of its own. It is useful if you need to communicate with a legacy application which can read and write only Xbase files.
JaxMeXS 1.03
JaxMeXS is a parser for XML Schema, written in Java. Unlike Xerces or similar parsers, this one isn't written for validation of conforming instances, but for schema authors who like to use the schema information or extend the XML Schema language with private data. An excellent example is JAXB, the Java/XML binding specification.
JXMLPad 1.9.1
JXMLPad is a Java component for editing XML document. It includes Java bean usage, syntax coloration (tags, name spaces, strings, entities, etc.), a syntax helper, a look-and-feel plugIn, a customized action toolbar, real time tree location, syntax correction, a template for fast creation, easy integration in your application, several standard actions for XML usage (parse, search, comment, etc.), a standard Swing EditorKit, real time tree text synchronization, auto tag closing, many actions (parsing, searching, adding comments, formatting), and real time text location. It is customizable with a property file
Kandid 0.1.7
Kandid is a system to evolve graphics. Graphics, in Kandid, are not drawn by hand. Instead, new forms can be found using genetic algorithms. To achieve this aim Kandid simulates evolution using sexual reproduction and mutation. But there is no fitness function inside the program. Only the user can decide what images are interesting. Populations and genes can be stored in XML format. Image calculation is based on Iterated Function Systems, Linear Cellular Automata, and Voroni diagrams.

mooix 1.0rc3
Mooix is a multiuser object-oriented dimension (a MOO) layered over top of your favorite Unix system. To the user, mooix looks much like any other MOO. To the programmer, mooix objects look like directories full of files: executable methods, properties, and links to other objects. MOOs have historically had poor support for such things as real programming languages, encrypted logins, multitasking, and editors. Mooix inherits all of these things from the Unix system it is based on. At the same time, it's not wedded too tightly to Unix (e.g., it implements its own permissions system that is much more suited to a MOO environment than the historical Unix system).
