Pencil
The Pencil Project's unique mission is to build a free tool
Pencil is built for the purpose of providing a free and open-source GUI prototyping tool that people can easily install and use to create mockups in popular desktop platforms. The latest stable version of Pencil is 3.1.0 which contains stability fixes and many new features. More details can befound in the releaste notes. Pencil provides various built-in shapes collection for drawing different types of user interface ranging from desktop to mobile platforms. Starting from 2.0.2, Pencil is shipped with Android and iOS UI stencils pre-installed. This makes it even easier to start protyping apps with a simple installation. Starting from 2.0.2 Pencil has even more shape collections included by default. The list of built-in collections now includes general-purpose shapes, flowchart elements, desktop/web UI shapes, Android and iOS GUI shapes. -

v2flyNG
A V2Ray client for Android, support v2fly core
v2flyNG is a mobile client that packages the V2Ray/V2Fly networking core into an Android application with a touch-friendly UI. It focuses on making modern protocols—such as VMess, VLESS, and Trojan—accessible without requiring shell access or manual config editing. Profiles can be added via subscription links or QR codes, and the app merges and updates them on schedule to keep node lists fresh. Per-app proxy controls allow you to include or exclude specific applications, which is useful for balancing privacy with bandwidth and latency. The client exposes routing controls, TLS settings, custom DNS, and UDP handling so advanced users can fine-tune behavior. Status panels and logs help diagnose connectivity issues and confirm that rules are being applied as intended. -

Flox
Developer environments you can take with you
Flox is a portable, reproducible developer-environment and package-management system that lets you compose and share per-project stacks across the full software lifecycle. Instead of snowflake machines, teams define environments that layer or replace dependencies exactly where needed, then activate the same environment locally, in CI, or on production hosts. The GitHub repo and docs present a developer-first UX, plus integrations such as a VS Code extension that makes activating and working within Flox environments seamless. The ecosystem includes CI building blocks—for example, a CircleCI Orb—to install and activate environments as part of builds and tests. Flox’s messaging focuses on faster onboarding and “time-to-activation,” reducing friction for new contributors and multi-repo organizations. In practice, it functions as both the package source and the environment switcher, keeping toolchains isolated and reproducible. -

A fork of BOSSA
This is a fork of the BOSSA project by ShumaTech.
BOSSA is a flash programming utility for Atmel's SAM family of flash-based ARM microcontrollers, developed by ShumaTech. The motivation behind BOSSA is to create a simple, easy-to-use, open source utility to replace Atmel's SAM-BA software. This project is a fork, created to temporarily host new modifications to BOSSA until they can be incorporated into the main BOSSA codebase. More information on the original project: BOSSA web site: http://www.shumatech.com/web/products/bossa BOSSA on SourceForge: https://sourceforge.net/projects/b-o-s-s-a/ -

BigFileManager - Manage files outside of your VCS
This tool is intended to manage big files out of your VCS but in your workarea. It's like mercurial largefile extension but independend of any VCS. Instead of the big file itself only a list of filenames with their checksums (md5) are committed to the VCS. The BFM can check for missing or outdated bigfiles and downloads them from a server using CURL. -

ChatGPT Java API
Java SDK for seamless integration with ChatGPT APIs
ChatGPT-Java is a Java SDK created by PlexPt that offers a convenient, out-of-the-box integration with the OpenAI ChatGPT API (including models like GPT-4o, GPT-5) for Java applications. The library supports chat completions, token counting, function calls, streaming responses, proxy configuration, custom API host, and integration with frameworks such as Spring (via SseEmitter). It abstracts the HTTP interaction and JSON parsing into simple Java objects and builders while handling details like token usage and model selection. It is published to Maven Central under the group com.github.plexpt, e.g., version 5.0.1. The SDK is designed for developers building chatbots, conversational assistants, and integrations in Java or Spring ecosystems. Being open source under MIT, it provides transparency and community contributions. -

GNAT Util Library
Provides access to GNAT compiler internals for AdaCore utilities
With GNAT GPL 2013, AdaCore have extracted internal compiler components into a library called gnat_util, which is used by (at least) ASIS and GNATColl. GNAT Util GPL 2013 contains components from the GNAT GPL 2013 compiler. At least for ASIS, the components used to build it must match the components in the compiler, so if building ASIS for use with (for example) FSF GCC 4.8.0 a version of GNAT Util is needed which contains components from FSF GCC 4.8.0. This project provides such a library. The code is released under GPL V3.0 without any Runtime Exception, because the compiler components are themselves pure GPL. NOTE: This library was written to support building Ada tools for Darwin (Mac OS X), and contains Darwin-specific choices. -
