ATG is a suite services built on top of J2EE which uses it's own proprietary flavor of ORM (like Hibernate but not), dependency injection (like Spring but not), and JSP tag libraries to offer and integrate services like customer profiling and targeting, e-commerce (shopping cart, billing, inventory, etc.), e-mail blasting, content manage...
I wan a good lightweight FOSS embedded database to use with Delphi. I've used DBISAM by Elevate Software for years and I just love it, but I like to share the source on some of my utilities, and it is closed source commercial. Someone suggested Embedded Firebird as a FOSS alternative. Where do I get components to use it with Delp...
ATG (http://www.atg.com) is a frameowrk, a platform and a solution for content presentation and management, personalisation, e-commerce and customer relationship management. Which free and open source frameworks or products would you recommend to replace the basic functionality it provides? In the spirit of Stack Overflow, can you ans...
It would be good to compile a new inventory here of Delphi FOSS components that are very useful, also with rare and difficult to find functionality and still maintained for the latest Delphi versions. Examples of rare components are for instance "TWAIN" scanning components, raw printing etc. Your comments added will make for a very valua...
I have started work on an open-source project and I'd like to find related projects and people that want to work on something similar. Is there a site for finding such people? The idea is a multi-syntax extensible .NET compiler framework, in case those people are here. ...
Are there any free diagramming tools for web site specification? Which is your favourite? ...
As a college student, I've come to embrace Linux and the FOSS movement in general. I currently work at a small company which produces open source software for large-scale scientific computing. As I look to graduate school and beyond, how can I prepare myself for a career in FOSS development, and what are some of the leading companies t...
Hi guys, I'm the previous founder of Gaiaware and Gaia Ajax Widgets and when I used to work there we had this rhetoric (which I have confirmed with some very smart FOSS people is correct) that when using a GPL Ajax library you're basically "distributing" the JavaScript which in turn makes the GPL viral clause kick in and forces people to...
I am looking for a good screen recorder to make training videos of my systems - can you recommend any ? ...
We've got a web-based system that will be printing barcodes into PDF files. What I would love is if there was a free/open source .net component that would accept a text string and hand back a graphic of a bar code. Sure, we could just use a bar-code font, but I'd really rather not compute the checksum myself if I don't have to. Ditto ...
Given the recent 55 minute Google service interruption, it seems obvious to me that internet search is too important to leave in the hands of one company (no matter how hard they try not to be evil). So are there some (possibly p2p) free open source alternative internet search/information storage and retrieval systems that might work or...
What, if any, are the most popular ways to get some money from a FOSS-project? I see that many projects ask for donations, and some of the larger ones do get a decent amount of donations. But how about the smaller ones? Is it really realistic that, assuming you have a small userbase, once you put a "please donate" badge somewhere, the c...
Lots of the answers to C++ questions here contain the response: "You should be using boost::(insert your favourite smart pointer here) or even better boost::(insert your favourite mega complex boost type here)" I'm not at all convinced that this is doing any favours to the questioners who, by and large, are obvious C++ novi...
Duplicate: Is there anywhere that lists open source projects looking for contributors? Where to go to browse for open source projects to work on? Where to find like-minded FOSS developers? Best Open Source Project Hosting Site and a gazillion others I'm looking for a website or on-line resource that I can use to find ...
scripting/dynamic languages aside, what choices do i have (for a foss project) to find an environment that is: - quite efficient - allow me to develop applications that can be installed simply unzipping a directory (that is, if a vm is needed, it should be already installed in the vast majority of cases, especially for windows machines) ...
I'm working on a project I expect to make public, and I'm aware of several F/OSS repositories I could use to release it - Sourceforge, Google code, and github. (Of course info about others is very welcome.) However, it seems that the biggest differentiator between them is which SCM they use, and that's something I'm entirely agnostic ab...
Do you know of a freely available (preferable FOSS) implementation of the ubiquitous 'Check (online) for a new version' functionality? .NET is preferred. What would be even more interesting, would be a mechanism to allow the download and install of the update(s) in case they are available. ...
I'm working on a FOSS project where I am the main contributor. In each source file I have a copyright and license statement at the top of the file. The copyright notice names me as copyright holder. From time to time I get contributions by other developers. Sometimes these contributions add new files and sometimes they just change existi...
Hello, I started reading recently about J2EE technologies and mainly EJB. Although I located quite a lot of Open Source Application Servers, I haven't seen any actual application that uses some version of EJB. Are you aware of any FOSS application that uses EJB? It is my understanding that EJBs are mainly focused on enterprise applicat...
I have an idea for an open source app -- the app would be free, but I would charge a small fee for data that a customer would order. For instance, let's say I'm writing a map application. I'd give the app away, make it open-source, but I would like to sell various maps to individual users. Is there a way to protect the data in such a wa...
