Meaning of Free and Open Source
Free and Open Source Software are tools that are available to all people, allowing us to share the tools, modify the tools, and generally learn how the tools work. These are essential freedoms; not simply in terms of cost, but liberty.
Please review [Defined] for more information.
Design
- Inkscape - vector illustration, design, layout, web development. Using the SVG standard.
- Scribus - page layout, design, publishing.
- GIMP - image manipulation, design, web development, and layered graphics.
Animation and Simulation
- Blender 3D - Game design, physics simulation, animation, 3D modeling, architecture, video editing, compositing, etc..
Statistics and Data Visualization
- R Studio - development environment for the R Language for stistical computing.
- Gephi Graph visualization, analysis, manipulation.
Mathematics
- Python SAGE - Sage Notebook is a math worksheet, graphing, and publishing tool.
Creative Coding
- openFrameworks - C++ toolkit for creative coding.
- Processing - create images, animations, and interactions.
Geospatial
- Quantum GIS - integrated toolkit for geospatial analysis, data management, etc.
- SAGA GIS - collection of geospatial tools featuring a simple UI.
