The buzztard project aims to provide a free
replacement for the Windows-only and closed source
Buzz music production environment. It is based on
a very modular approch that allows many people to
get involved.

FFTscope is a visualization plugin for AlsaPlayer.
Its main purpose is to demonstrate how to write a
plugin against the AlsaPlayer visualization API.

Conglomerate will be a system for authoring, storing, transforming, and generally working with structured information like XML/SGML (yes, it will do DocBook, or any other DTD you care to throw at it). It's not a finished product, but there is working code with the basic functionality, screenshots, and ample descriptions of the system.

Arronax is a plugin for Nautilus (the GNOME default file manager) to create and modify application starters (".desktop files"). It adds the menu item "Create starter for this file" to the context menu (the menu you get when you right-click a file in the file manager). If the file is an application starter, you get the item “Modify this starter” instead. If you have icons enabled on your desktop, Arronax adds the menu item “Create starter” to your desktop’s context menu.

Smuxi is an irssi-inspired, flexible, user-friendly, and cross-platform IRC client for sophisticated users. Smuxi is based on the client-server model: The core application (engine) can be placed onto a server which is connected to the Internet around-the-clock; one or more frontends then connect to the core. This allows the connection to IRC to be kept up even when all frontends have been closed. The combination of screen and irssi served as the example for this architecture. Smuxi also supports the regular single application mode. This behaves like a typical IRC client; it doesn't need separate core management and utilizes a local engine that is used by the local frontend client.

Gemu is a Gnome application designed to configure sound cards based on the EMU10K1 platform from Creative Labs. Gemu is capable of adding, viewing and deleting audio routes, turning on Live Drive IR, turning on the 12db boost to the front/headphone jacks on Live cards, setting the S/PDIF frequency on Audigy cards, setting the recording source, turning on digital passthrough mode, setting to the analog or digital mode of the dual-mode jack of 5.1 cards, adding and seeing patches for sources and destinations, and controlling volume on a per-route basis or by source or destination.

PieDock is a task bar in the shape of a pie menu
that appears directly around your mouse cursor. It
feels a little bit like the Mac OS X dock but in a
circular shape.

Silky is a secure chat client using the SILC protocol. It's OS-independent and uses the GTK toolkit.

GNUitar is guitar effects software that allows you to use your PC as guitar processor. It includes the following effects: wah-wah, sustain, distortion, reverberator, echo, delay, tremolo, vibrato, and chorus/flanger.

PyORBit is a Python binding for the ORBit2 CORBA ORB. It was developped to suit the needs of the bonobo bindings in GNOME-Python, but is usable for other purposes as well. It aims to follow the standard Python language mapping for CORBA. It can generate stubs at runtime from typelibs, IDL files, or by introspecting remote objects using ORBit2's IModule typelib capabilities.

Preferences Hide and Seek is a utility that groups
together all the options that actually exist for
GNOME preferences, but are usually hard to find or
are just plain hidden from the user. This utility
makes it possible to create a simple data file to
expose gconf-based options to the user. It was
created to allow usable access to the hidden
application options buried within gconf.

The Gnome Display Manager is a reimplementation of the well known xdm program. GDM consists of a daemon and a graphical login application which runs as an unpriviledged user. The login GUI features a face browser, an optional logo, and language/session type selection support. The daemon includes an XDMCP implementation for managing remote displays. Access control relies on TCPWrappers and PAM.
