Features include:
A free software, open source licence as standard No intrusive adverts Import videos from popular video sources No restrictions on content by country, IP or government Video downloading as standard HTML5 WebM as standard Live streaming (pluginless) Federation through multiple servers Live video effects including brightness and contrast Easter eggs?

Bibud Social Web Desktop Alpha5 Released
Permalink | Author: Dan Dart | Published: 2010-08-01 19:01:00.001 UTC | Tags: alpha audio bibud desktop files friends html5 media sharing video web webos
The fifth bugfix update to the Bibud web desktop was released yesterday, and includes easier application installations, a better SDK, a clearer layout, better window management and removal of application previews not relevant to the web demo at this time.
If you've not come across Bibud before, it is a desktop and window manager including and designed to contain several web-based applications that work together to make your computer experience easier. It is designed to run on desktop, laptop or netbook computers, and with a low footprint, is designed to work well on the lowest specification computers available.
Bibud is the name of the entire project, but a demo of what the desktop will look like is available to demo on the web at https://bibud.com - later on it will come preinstalled inaide a GNU/Linux distribution enabling computers to connect and share data with each other in an as easy way as possible.
Technologies in use in Bibud are HTML5 for the audio and video elements, AJAX for most of the desktop, and the backends are programmed in PHP and MySQL, enabling any user with the LAMP stack installed (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) to easily download and install the software. The git repository is available on Github (edit 2021: changed organisation).
Currently, the following applications are available to try out:
- Audio, Video, Pictures (media viewing applications)
- Chatroom (an irc-esque chatroom)
- A Blog application
- Microblog (submit posts to Twitter, identi.ca, status.net, etc)
- My Files (a file upload manager)
- Friends (to keep track of contacts)
- Background (to change desktop wallpaper)
- User Info (to change user's passwords, etc)
Features just around the corner are:
- Media sharing
- Note taking applications
- Extra goodies
You can try out the alpha 5 prerelease of the desktop by visiting https://bibud.com in your HTML5-compliant web browser.
The Bibud project are looking for volunteers to help with the project, code contributions, artwork, designs, proof-of-concepts and even just ideas are welcome, and may well be accepted into the official project distribution. If you have anything to contribute, please email the project leader at bibud@dandart.co.uk. The Bibud project is licensed under a MIT-style license.

Xenon Alpha released!
Permalink | Author: Dan Dart | Published: 2009-12-29 13:20:00.001 UTC | Tags: ajax api apps cloud css desktop fast gui html html5 javascript linux networking operating system os php social sql xenon
An alpha version of the Xenon Desktop has been released. A description of the project follows.
Xenon is a portable web or browser based desktop for netbooks and thin clients, designed to be the easiest desktop ever.
The desktop includes a new GUI stepping away from traditional menus and is optimised for touchscreen and small devices.
The system integrates social networking features and standard desktop features into one software package.
Being browser-based, it is cross platform and cross architecture. It is built on HTML5 and PHP components, and can be run on extremely low-powered machines, allowing for cheap distribution and devices.
The backend can be run online (for users to access their data everywhere), on a personal LAN server, or on a small device, so the system can work offline, or if there are concerns about cloud storage.
An API is available at xenon.kevinghadyani.com/wiki/index.php/Developing_Apps (edit 2021: page not archived), so anyone can start developing apps to distribute in Xenon's upcoming App Store.
The project's homepage is located at https://hackerlanes.com (edit 2021: archived) including the online desktop, ready for instant testing and a download of the alpha image for your server. The actual small footprint OS that will run on netbooks will come later.
We encourage contributions to the project, in the form of code (the languages currently used are (X)HTML, CSS, Javascript, PHP and MySQL), art (eg icons, backgrounds, GUI concepts) or even just ideas.
To send any requests or contributions, or to join the project, please email the head developer at dan.dart@googlemail.com. Thank you!
