Fluent, XML-less, compile safe, automated, convention-based mappings for NHibernate. Fluent NHibernate offers an alternative to NHibernate's standard XML mapping files. Rather than writing XML documents, you write mappings in strongly typed C# code. This allows for easy refactoring, improved readability and more concise code. Why replace HBM.XML? While the separation of code and XML is nice, it can lead to several undesirable situations.<ul><li> Due to XML not being evaluated by the compiler, you can rename properties in your classes that aren't updated in your mappings; in this situation, you wouldn't find out about the breakage until the mappings are parsed at runtime.
</li><li> XML is verbose; NHibernate has gradually reduced the mandatory XML elements, but you still can't escape the verbosity of XML.
</li><li> Repetitive mappings - NHibernate HBM mappings can become quite verbose if you find yourself specifying the same rules over again. For example if you need to ensure all <code>string</code> properties mustn't be nullable and should have a length of 1000, and all <code>int</code>s must have a default value of -1.
</li></ul>
How does Fluent NHibernate counter these issues? It does so by moving your mappings into actual code, so they're compiled along with the rest of your application; rename refactorings will alter your mappings just like they should, and the compiler will fail on any typos. As for the repetition, Fluent NHibernate has a conventional configuration system, where you can specify patterns for overriding naming conventions and many other things; you set how things should be named once, then Fluent NHibernate does the rest.
 Its feature includes:

 <ul>
	 <li> Auto mappings - where mappings are inferred from the design of your entities</li>
	 <li> Persistence specification testing - round-trip testing for your entities, without ever having to write a line of CRUD</li>
	 <li> Full application configuration with our Fluent configuration API</li>
	 <li> Database configuration - fluently configure your database in code</li>
 </ul>

Gearman provides a generic application framework to farm out work to other machines or processes that are better suited to do the work. It allows you to do work in parallel by doing load balancing. It also supports to call functions between languages. It is the nervous system for how distributed processing communicates. It is fault tolerant. A Gearman powered application consists of three parts: a client, a worker, and a job server. The client is responsible for creating a job to be run and sending it to a job server. The job server will find a suitable worker that can run the job and forwards the job on. The worker performs the work requested by the client and sends a response to the client through the job server.

Protovis composes custom views of data with simple marks such as bars and dots. Unlike low-level graphics libraries that quickly become tedious for visualization, Protovis defines marks through dynamic properties that encode data, allowing inheritance, scales and layouts to simplify construction. Protovis is a graphical toolkit, designed for visualization. It retains some of the conceptual simplicity and low-level control of graphical systems by dealing directly with graphical elements.

Pygments is a generic syntax highlighter for general use in all kinds of software such as forum systems, wikis or other applications that need to prettify source code. It supports all common programming languages. It will take source code (or other markup) in a supported language and output a processed version (in different formats) containing syntax highlighting markup. It suports a number of output formats like HTML, RTF, LaTeX and ANSI sequences (console output).

Stash makes it easy to speed up your code by caching the results of expensive functions or code. Certain actions, like database queries or calls to external APIs, take a lot of time to run but tend to have the same results over short periods of time. This makes it much more efficient to store the results and call them back up later.

Supervisor is a client/server system that allows its users to monitor and control a number of processes on UNIX-like operating systems. It shares some of the same goals of programs like launchd, daemontools, and runit. Unlike some of these programs, it is not meant to be run as a substitute for init as “process id 1”. Instead it is meant to be used to control processes related to a project or a customer, and is meant to start like any other program at boot time.
 
rc.d scripts cannot automatically restart a crashed process and many programs do not restart themselves properly on a crash. Supervisord starts processes as its subprocesses, and can be configured to automatically restart them on a crash. It can also automatically be configured to start processes on its own invocation.
