The MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on macOS. New releases are no longer being uploaded here; please see the project web site at www.macports.org instead.

NSISBI aims to remove the current 2GB limit found in NSIS. This version adds support for using a separate file for storing the install data, therefore allowing installer sizes up to a theoretical max size of 8EB (this is controlled by NSIS_CONFIG_EXTERNAL_FILE_SUPPORT, this is turned on by default). On versions before 7069-1, the compiler (makensis) is designed to run on 64 bit machines as this is the feature needed to make installers bigger than 2GB. On versions before 7208-1, source files added to the installer are limited to 2GB per file (this is controlled by NSIS_CONFIG_LARGE_FILE_SUPPORT, this is turned on by default). This project is the result of several different experiments focused on relieving the 2GB limit in NSIS, so it's still a work in progress. I'll try to keep it up to date with each major NSIS release.

Open Information Systems for Emergency Services (Open ISES) is a community of software developers, paramedics, EMTs, law enforcement & fire fighters working together to create open source software & training materials for the emergency service community.

SeaweedFS is a distributed storage system for blobs, objects, files, and data lake, to store and serve billions of files fast! Blob store has O(1) disk seek, local tiering, cloud tiering. Filer supports cross-cluster active-active replication, Kubernetes, POSIX, S3 API, encryption, Erasure Coding for warm storage, FUSE mount, Hadoop, WebDAV. SeaweedFS is an independent Apache-licensed open source project with its ongoing development made possible because of the community. SeaweedFS is a simple and highly scalable distributed file system. There are two objectives, to store billions of files, and to serve the files fast! SeaweedFS started as an Object Store to handle small files efficiently. Instead of managing all file metadata in a central master, the central master only manages volumes on volume servers, and these volume servers manage files and their metadata.

Use Apache HBase™ when you need random, realtime read/write access to your Big Data. This project's goal is the hosting of very large tables, billions of rows X millions of columns, atop clusters of commodity hardware. Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, non-relational database modeled after Google's Bigtable. A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data by Chang et al. Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed data storage provided by the Google File System, Apache HBase provides Bigtable-like capabilities on top of Hadoop and HDFS. Thrift gateway and a REST-ful Web service that supports XML, Protobuf, and binary data encoding options. Support for exporting metrics via the Hadoop metrics subsystem to files or Ganglia; or via JMX. Convenient base classes for backing Hadoop MapReduce jobs with Apache HBase tables.

OpenUEM is an open-source inventory tool that allows you to manage your IT assets thanks to its agents and a clean and concise web user interface. OpenUEM is based on open-source or free tools that are battle-tested to avoid re-inventing the wheel. It allows you to keep track of your IT assets using agents installed on your Windows, Linux (Debian and RedHat based distributions) and MacOS endpoints and provides features like remote file browsing, getting Windows Update and Antivirus status, deploying software via WinGet/Flatpak/Brew, remote assistance with VNC or RDP… OpenUEM server components can be installed in a humble desktop machine with Windows 10 Home, Debian/Ubuntu Linux or any Docker powered environment. If you run a medium-sized or large company, you can use beefier machines and share the load as it has been designed to have distributed components. It can be classified too as a Remote Monitoring and Managing (RMM) or as a Unified Endpoint Management (UEM) tool.
