Open Source Apps: the Monster List It's become something of an annual tradition at Datamation to end the year with a gigantic compilation of all the open source software we've surveyed over the past twelve months or so. (See 2010's Open Source Apps: the Ultimate List and 2009's Open Source Software: The Monster List.) This year's retrospective is bigger than ever with 957 excellent open source applications featured. The complete list is a lot to handle in one sitting, so we've divided it into categories. Also, please note that the projects in each category are listed in alphabetical order, not from best to worst or vice versa. As always, if you'd like to add a project to list, feel free to do so in the comments section below. Open Source Apps: Accounting 1. Web-based Imperium combines some business management features like CRM and job tracking with a full-featured double-entry accounting package. 2. Like Imperium, FrontAccounting is Web-based and includes some ERP functionality. 3. 4. 5. 6. osFinancials 7. 9. 11. 12. 13.

Tux Paint DNA robot could kill cancer cells DNA origami, a technique for making structures from DNA, may be more than just a cool design concept. It can also be used to build devices that can seek out and destroy living cells. The nanorobots, as the researchers call them, use a similar system to cells in the immune system to engage with receptors on the outside of cells. Image created by Campbell Strong, Shawn Douglas, & Gaël McGill using Molecular Maya & cadnano DNA nanorobots can target cancer cells and deliver an antibody payload (purple). “We call it a nanorobot because it is capable of some robotic tasks,” says Ido Bachelet, a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard Medical School in Boston, Massachusetts, and one of the authors of the study, which is published in this week’s issue of Science1. The researchers designed the structure of the nanorobots using open-source software, called Cadnano, developed by one of the authors — Shawn Douglas, a biophysicist at Harvard's Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering.

Hackathon alert: BiblioHack! The Open Knowledge Foundation’s Open Biblio group, and Working Group on Open Data in Cultural Heritage, along with DevCSI, present BiblioHack: an open Hackathon to kick-start the summer months. From Wednesday 13th – Thursday 14th June, we’ll be meeting at Queen Mary, University of London, East London, and any budding hackers are welcome, along with anyone interested in opening up metadata and the open cause – this free event aims to bring together software developers, project managers, librarians and experts in the area of Open Bibliographic Data. A workshop will run alongside the coding on the 13th, and a meet-up on the evening of the 12th is open to all whether you’re attending the Hackathon or not. What is BiblioHack? BiblioHack will be two days of hacking and sharing ideas about open bibliographic metadata. There will be opportunities to hack on open bibliographic datasets and experiment with new prototypes and tools. If you’re a non-coder there are sessions for you too.

Launching YourTopia Italia: Progress in Italy, defined by You How do we measure social progress? Academics and international institutions have struggled with employing measures of human development which go beyond GDP per capita: education, health the the economy, but then what values do we attach to these? In countries like Italy stark regional differences have dominated over time. Particularly in times of fiscal austerity when the country attempts to recover from an economic crisis with major social consequences, seeing how and why the South and the North differ is an important step in a consensus-building process to find solutions and realise collaboration with the citizens. The Open Economics Working Group of the Open Knowledge Foundation released YourTopia Italia – an application which gives the users a chance to input their priorities in eight categories of socio-economic progress: Labour MarketEducationHealthEnvironment and EnergyScience and ResearchHousehold Income and InequalityPublic SafetySocial Life

Les bibliothèques de Rennes Métropole à l’heure de l’Open Data Bonjour ! Vous vous trouvez sur l’ancien blog du collectif Open Data Rennes. Ses archives restent en ligne, mais nous nous trouvons à présent sur www.cod-rennes.fr. A très bientôt ! Depuis 2010, Rennes Métropole s’est lancée dans l’open data et a ouvert des données d’horizons variés. Un acteur a quand même commencé à proposer certains jeux de données, il s’agit de la bibliothèque des Champs Libres, avec ses statistiques de fréquentations par heure et par jour. Néanmoins, nous pensons qu’il y a plus à faire avec l’information qu’une bibliothèque peut générer et manipuler au quotidien: nombre de documents empruntés, retournés, en retard, emprunts par heure ou jour, quelle section d’une bibliothèque est la plus dévalisée. Une approche en douceur Initialement, lorsque vous souhaitez travailler sur des données d’un acteur public, il est bon de faire un tour sur leur site afin de voir ce qui est accessible, même si ce n’est pas programmatiquement exploitable. Un jeu de patience donnant/donnant

About | Top Documentary Films My name is Vlatko and I'm the owner of this site. It all started some time ago when I "fell in love" with documentaries in quest for more knowledge. I then started searching for documentaries and found a whole bunch and decided to put them all on this site. It's just an information scattered around the web and then assembled and categorized in an easy to use website called Top Documentary Films. The content here is created with a passion for documentary films, the site is in open form and it is allowing readers to add comments about documentary films they like or dislike. TDF offers full watchable documentaries in hope to provide a valuable resource to those with an interest in documentary films and to help independent documentary filmmakers and festival coordinators promote their films and events. In case you decide to buy your favorite documentary film, or you want to get some more information on some of the docs please go to the store. I hope you enjoy TopDocumentaryFilms.com
