It's a tool for creating small, universal - server images under version control. The resulting images can be - exported to "any bootable format known to man" for deployment in - virtually any environment. Formats include: Xen, KVM, EC2 AMI, - Tarballs, and ol' fashioned bootable CDs. Soon, cloudlets will - offer support for full VM generation (vmkdk, xen, and qemu) and - multi-image stacks. If you're looking to create turn-key server - images for your application or platform, this is a great place to - start. - -- `josevalim/elixir `_: - This is a functional language runtime built on top of Erlang. It - provides object orientation, a Ruby-esque syntax, and can - interoperate seamlessly with standard Erlang code and datatypes. - The project is still under development, but already has a large - contributor and user base. If you'd like to assist in its - development, checkout the - `project roadmap `_ - and send a pull request. - -- `ilektrojohn/creepy `_: - Ever wonder what personal data is floating around the web for the - world to see? Checkout creepy. Point it to all of your social - network accounts, and it displays a map filled with your past - locations. Data is fetched from a number of social APIs and photo - services. It even goes as far as to parse Geo-location tags from - uploaded image EXIF data. Creepy! - -- `jordansissel/fpm `_: - This is an interesting project. FPM, "Effing Package Management", - takes out all the headaches of creating ``.deb`` and ``.rpm`` - packages for your own consumption. It allows you to distribute your - application in any style and configuration you want, abandoning all - distro-specific best practices. The author designed it to be as - simple as possible: "Here's my install dir and here are some - dependencies; please make a package". This may or may not be a good - idea.

It strives to be as lightweight, yet - flexible, as possible. The project is still fairly young and has a - small todo list, so forks are encouraged. - -- `mikeal/spider `_: This - `node.js `_ project is a simple - programmatic web spider, powered by jQuery. It has a very small - code base (~200 SLOC), yet offers custom user agent strings, - connection pools, and memory cache. - - -Feedback is appreciated!
