coreboot is aimed at replacing the proprietary BIOS (firmware) found in most computers. coreboot performs a little bit of hardware initialization and then executes additional boot logic, called a payload. coreboot can scale from specialized applications that run directly from firmware, run operating systems in flash, load custom bootloaders, or implement firmware standards, like PC BIOS services or UEFI.
Its design philosophy is to do the bare minimum necessary to ensure that hardware is usable and then pass control to a different program called the payload. The payload can then provide user interfaces, file system drivers, various policies etc. to load the OS.

Libxml2 is the XML C parser and toolkit developed for the Gnome project (but usable outside of the Gnome platform), it is free software available under the MIT License. Libxml2 is known to be very portable, the library should build and work without serious troubles on a variety of systems (Linux, Unix, Windows, CygWin, MacOS, MacOS X, RISC Os, OS/2, VMS, QNX, MVS, VxWorks, ...) Libxml2 also provides support for Document Object Model (DOM), but it doesn't implement the API itself, gdome2 does this on top of libxml2. RFC 959 : libxml2 implements a basic FTP client code, RFC 1945 : HTTP/1.0, again a basic HTTP client code, SAX: a SAX2 like interface and a minimal SAX1 implementation compatible with early expat versions.

libxml++ is a C++ API for the popular libxml XML parser, written in C. libxml is famous for its high performance and compliance to standard specifications, but its C API is quite difficult even for common tasks. libxml++ presents a simple C++-like API that can achieve common tasks with less code. Unlike some other C++ parsers, it does not try to avoid the advantages of standard C++ features such as namespaces, STL containers or runtime type identification, and it does not try to conform to standard API specifications meant for Java. Therefore libxml++ requires a fairly modern C++ compiler such as g++ 3. But libxml++ was created mainly to fill the need for an API-stable C++ XML parser which could be used as a shared library dependency by C++ applications that are distributed widely in binary form. That means that installed applications will not break when new versions of libxml++ are installed on a user's computer. Gradual improvement of the libxml++ API is still possible via non-breaking API additions, and new independent versions of the API that can be installed in parallel with older versions. These are the general techniques and principles followed by the GNOME project, of which libxml++ is a part.

libxml++ is a C++ wrapper for the libxml XML parser library.

Membase is an distributed, key-value database management system optimized for storing data behind interactive web applications. These applications must service many concurrent users, creating, storing, retrieving, aggregating, manipulating and presenting data in real-time. Supporting these requirements, membase processes data operations with quasi-deterministic low latency and high sustained throughput. For those familiar with memcached, membase provides on-the-wire protocol compatibility, but adds disk persistence; hierarchical storage management; data replication; live cluster reconfiguration and rebalancing; and secure multi-tenancy with data partitioning. Membase scales elastically, with linear cost. Servers can be added to, or removed from, a running cluster with no application downtime.
