"There are a large number of project management tools designed to support Agile methodologies such as Scrum and eXtreme Programming (XP), including several open source options. This article compares the most compelling open source options on the following criteria:
* Feature set
* Usability
* Viability
* Suitability for large projects and products"
"Dailymotion Markup Language (or Dynamic Markup Language) is an XML compatible templating system.
XML tags with special namespace "dm" are used to inject some dynamic behavior into the code. Some tags are provided by default, but new tags can be easily added to extend the language. Finaly, the use of this template engine has no overhead, as it compiles templates as raw PHP code which can then be used standalone."
"wig is a modern template language for PHP
* Fast: Twig compiles templates down to plain optimized PHP code. The overhead compared to regular PHP code was reduced to the very minimum.
* Secure: Twig has a sandbox mode to evaluate untrusted template code. This allows Twig to be used as a templating language for applications where users may modify the template design.
* Flexible: Twig is powered by a flexible lexer and parser. This allows the developer to define its own custom tags and filters, and create its own DSL. "
For most developers, version control tools are the most important tools in their toolbox. Every development project starts with choosing the right version control system.
However the majority of designers are still not familiar with the concept of version control, and a very few designers actually use some versioning tools in their work.
This article will help you to understand why version control is important for designers and help you to start using it for your projects.
"Tattler (app) is an open source topic monitoring tool for today's Web. Tattler finds and aggregates content from the Web on topics you ask it to monitor. Using semantic Web technologies, Tattler mines news, websites, blogs, multimedia sites, and other social media like Twitter, to find mentions of the issues most relevant to your organization.
Built and distributed on open source Drupal, Tattler's unique workflow and a toolset of intelligent content processors allow users to easily filter, organize, share, and take action on content gathered from the Web. "
"Pirum is a simple and nice looking PEAR channel server manager that lets you setup PEAR channel servers in a matter of minutes. Pirum is best suited when you want to create small PEAR channels for a few packages written by a few developers.
Pirum consists of just one file, a command line tool, written in PHP. There is no external dependencies, no not need for a database, no need to setup credentials, and nothing need to be installed or configured. "
RED interacts with the resource at the provided URL to check for a large number of common HTTP problems, including:
* Invalid syntax in headers
* Ill-formed messages (e.g., bad chunking, incorrect content-length)
* Incorrect gzip encoding
* Missing headers
Additionally, it will tell how well your resource supports a number of HTTP features, like:
* Caching
* Negotiation for compression
* Last-Modified and ETag validation
* Partial content
Mondo is reliable. It backs up your GNU/Linux server or workstation to tape, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R[W], DVD+R[W], NFS or hard disk partition. In the event of catastrophic data loss, you will be able to restore all of your data [or as much as you want], from bare metal if necessary. Mondo is in use by Lockheed-Martin, Nortel Networks, Siemens, HP, IBM, NASA's JPL, the US Dept of Agriculture, dozens of smaller companies, and tens of thousands of users. Mondo is comprehensive. Mondo supports LVM 1/2, RAID, ext2, ext3, ext4, JFS, XFS, ReiserFS, VFAT, and can support additional filesystems easily: just e-mail the mailing list with your request. It supports software raid as well as most hardware raid controllers. It supports adjustments in disk geometry, including migration from non-RAID to RAID. Mondo runs on all major Linux distributions (RedHat, RHEL, SuSE, SLES, Mandriva, Debian, Gentoo) and is getting better all the time. You may even use it to backup non-Linux partitions, such as NTFS. Mondo is free! It has been published under the GPL v2 (GNU Public License), partly to expose it to thousands of potential beta-testers but mostly as a contribution to the Linux community.
The Simple Cloud API brings cloud technologies to PHP and the PHPilosophy to the cloud, starting with common interfaces for three cloud application services:
File Storage Services Document Storage Services Simple Queue Services You can start writing scalable, highly available, and resilient cloud applications that are portable across all major cloud vendors today.
Zend has invited the open source community and software vendors of all sizes to participate. IBM, Microsoft, Rackspace, Nirvanix, and GoGrid have already joined the project as contributors. In the coming months, we'll work together to define APIs for these cloud application services, enabling a new generation of cloud native applications written in PHP.
Welcome to a simpler cloud.

I wanted a simple command-line tool to be able to grab real-time stats from memcache (memcached, I know, I know), and output it in a view something like top. I couldn't find anything like it, so I wrote one myself in perl. When writing it, I tried to keep it simple, portable, and lightweight. (No memcached perl modules required! I tried to keep it to modules I thought would be preinstalled on almost any modern system. It's also fairly polite - non-critical modules get checked, and if they aren't installed, the functionality is disabled without spewing errors or dying.) I realize it's not written well. But, hey, at least it exists, right? Until the day I released it, there wasn't any comparable tool like it for memcached. It gives you the basic stats, and not too much else. (You can specify thresholds, for instance, and it'll change color to red if you exceed the thresholds. You can also choose the refresh/ sleep time, and whether to show immediate (per second) stats, or lifetime stats. But it pretty much all revolves around those stats.)
