Filesystem in Userspace is a simple interface for userspace programs to export a virtual filesystem to the Linux kernel. It also aims to provide a secure method for non privileged users to create and mount their own filesystem implementations.

MacFUSE implements a mechanism that makes it possible to implement a fully functional file system in a user-space program on Mac OS X (10.4 and above). It aims to be API-compliant with the FUSE (File-system in USErspace) mechanism that originated on ... [More] Linux. Therefore, many existing FUSE file systems become readily usable on Mac OS X. The core of MacFUSE is in a dynamically loadable kernel extension. Although MacFUSE has a completely different kernel-level implementation from Linux FUSE, it supports the FUSE specification well enough that many popular FUSE file systems can be easily compiled and work on Mac OS X--often out of the box.

The Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) provides audio and MIDI functionality to the Linux operating system. ALSA has the following significant features: * Efficient support for all types of audio interfaces, from consumer sound cards to ... [More] professional multichannel audio interfaces. * Fully modularized sound drivers. * SMP and thread-safe design. * User space library (alsa-lib) to simplify application programming and provide higher level functionality. * Support for the older Open Sound System (OSS) API, providing binary compatibility for most OSS programs.

Free implementation of ELKS library.

SystemTap provides free software (GPL) infrastructure to simplify the gathering of information about the running Linux system. This assists diagnosis of a performance or functional problem. SystemTap eliminates the need for the developer to go ... [More] through the tedious and disruptive instrument, recompile, install, and reboot sequence that may be otherwise required to collect data. SystemTap provides a simple command line interface and scripting language for writing instrumentation for a live running kernel. We are publishing samples, as well as enlarging the internal "tapset" script library to aid reuse and abstraction. We also plan to support probing userspace applications. We are investigating interfacing Systemtap with similar tools. [Less]

The Managed Operating System Alliance (MOSA) Framework is a set of operating system components, compiler tools and libraries for managed operating systems based on the Common Intermediate Language and .NET technology. We provide the foundation for other projects, such as SharpOS and Ensemble OS.

The Linux Cross-Reference project is the testbed application of a general hypertext cross-referencing tool. Its main goal is to create a versatile cross-referencing tool for relatively large code repositories. The main feature of the indexer is the ... [More] ability to jump easily to the declaration of any global identifier. Quick access to function declarations, data (type) definitions and preprocessor macros makes code browsing more convenient. At-a-glance overview of which code areas will be affected by changing a function or type definition should also come in useful during development and debugging. [Less]

Photon .NET is an opinionated approach on the efficient infrastructure development for the modular and extensible .NET applications.
