Slamd64

Summary: An unofficial port of Slackware Linux to AMD64/EM64T/x86_64
Web Page: http://www.slamd64.com

Started in late 2004, this was the first port of Slackware to AMD64/EM64T, and is still maintained. You may however prefer to use the official Slackware64 when it is released.

Slamd64 is a multlib distribution, meaning that 32-bit libraries can be installed in their normal locations, whereas 64-bit libraries go in /lib64 and /usr/lib64

This has largely been discontinued since the official 64-bit Slackware release

Jerboa

Summary: A cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OSX) music player.
Web Page: http://git.fredemmott.co.uk/?p=yanihp;a=summary
Source: $ git clone http://git.fredemmott.co.uk/repo/yanihp

A music player written in C++, using Qt and Phonon. Previously known as 'YANIHP' - the goal is a music player that is minimalistic, so doesn't include features such as iPod syncing, integration with online stores, and so on.

Jerboa-NG

Summary: A work-in-progress cross-platform (Windows, Linux, Mac OSX) music player.
Web Page: http://gitorious.org/jerboa/
Source: $ git clone git://gitorious.org/jerboa/jerboa.git

A replacement for jerboa with more features and much cleaner code. Not yet suitable for general use. Less picky about minimalistic features, as long as they're implemented via the new, more flexible plugin system.

Hooq

Summary: GUI testing utility for Qt4 applications
Web Page: http://gitorious.org/hooq/
Source: $ git clone git://gitorious.org/hooq/hooq.git

A work-in-progress system for recording and playing back user input in Qt4 GUI applications, and testing conditions in QtScript. Working on for Mendeley.

JsonQt

Summary: A C++/Qt library for parsing JSON
Web Page: http://gitorious.org/JsonQt/
Source: $ git clone git://gitorious.org/jsonqt/jsonqt.git

Supports conversion between JSON strings and QVariants, and also has a JSON-RPC 2.0 implementation.

StatusBoard

Summary: At a glance display for monitoring services
Web Page: http://gitorious.org/statusboard/
Source: $ git clone git://gitorious.org/statusboard/statusboard.git

A flexible application for making it clear when something's broken. Designed for putting on a monitor by itself, it has a full screen mode, and optionally a system tray icon for less obtrusive monitoring. Uses JsonQt.

TypoFail

Summary: A typing game
Web Page: http://gitorious.org/typofail/
Source: $ git clone http://git.fredemmott.co.uk/repo/typofail

A typing game, including both quotes-based gameplay (from fortune files), and an emulation of Typespeed.

FastCgiQt

Summary: A C++/Qt library for writing FastCGI websites
Web Page: http://docs.fredemmott.co.uk/FastCgiQt
Source: $ git clone http://gitorious.org/fastcgiqt/fastcgiqt.git

A library to make it easy to write FastCGI websites using C++/Qt. Unlike QtWui or Wt, it is not widget-orientated. This is handy if you want to easily be able to produce HTML or RSS, or other formats instead of just a "Rich Internet Application". It has built-in support for XSLT-based sites, if you are using Qt 4.5 or above, and can use memcached for file and page caching.

Slamd64 Builds

Summary: A site for user-contributed package scripts for Slamd64
Web Page: http://builds.slamd64.com
Source: $ git clone http://builds.slamd64.com/slamd64builds.git

A site like SlackBuilds.org, except for Slamd64 instead of Slackware. Like SlackBuilds.org, build scripts are distributed instead of prebuilt packages.

Build scripts are stored in git, and a git push automatically updates the site.
