• NLTK - NLTK [Natural Language Processing Toolkit] is a complete Open
Source suite of Python modules, linguistic data and documentation for
research and development in Natural Language Processing. It provides
utilities for many NLP tasks like chunking, stemming and parsing to name a
few. It is a useful tool for students, professionals and researchers
interested in Natural Language Processing and is widely used by NLP
community all over the world.

• GNU Build System - The GNU build system provides an environment to a
computer programmer that helps them make their software/packages portable
across platforms (at least for Unix-like operating systems). It also makes
the build process easier for the user, allowing him/her to use just a small
set of commands to build the software/package from its source code and
install it.

April 17th, 2010 (registration closes on April 14th, 2010)

Bug tracking systems MantisBT and Bugzilla: A bug tracking system is a very
important tool in the software development process. Programmers and quality
assurance people rely on it to keep track of reported bugs in their work. A
database storing the bug data is a vital component of a bug tracking system.
In a more general sense, a bug tracking system can be used as an issue
tracking system to keep track of important issues in any project. Both
MantisBT and Bugzilla are free, open source, web based bug tracking systems.

• MantisBT is written in PHP, uses MySQL/ MSSQL/ PostgreSQL database, and
works with Apache/ IIS webserver. It can be installed on Windows, Linux, Mac
OS and OS/2.
Easy to set up and use, it is very popular.

• Bugzilla is written in Perl, uses MySQL/ PostgreSQL/ Oracle database, and
works with Apache web server. It is recommended to be installed on Linux or
Solaris, but can be installed on Windows (with some efforts). With powerful
features, it is used by many well known open source and proprietary
softwares.

On the horizon

• Eucalyptus

• Hadoop

• Drupal

• SuTra (an Intelligent Suggestive Translation assistance tool , developed
by CDAC)
