I remember hearing of PLUG years ago but didn't give it much interest back then; but my curiosiy was renewed when I came accross a link I found on the web featuring Filipino-made open souce software. Anyway, I am from Iligan City, Lanao del Norte, Mindanao and I think you may be interesteed in some of the OSS projects that I authored: (1) XLObject (http://xlobject.sourceforge.net/). It is a C++ library featuring the signal and slots mechanism, a type safe alternative to callbacks without relying on an external meta-compiler. It allows ordinary member functions of classes derived from Object to be treated as slots. XLObject implements the Observer design pattern (Design patterns: Elements of reusable object-oriented software by Gamma, et al) made popular by Trolltech's Qt toolkit and takes advantage of modern C++ design methods. XLObject is the foundation of a C++ web toolkit patterned after Qt called "Wt" and the OpenKiosk client for Windows. (2) OpenKiosk (http://openkiosk.sourceforge.net/) OpenKiosk is an open-source multi-platform kiosk system. OpenKiosk is ideally suited for use in locations where a controlled computing environment is paramount such as public access systems, libraries, school computer laboratories. OpenKiosk 2.0 features major enhancements to both the clients and server module of the system. One of the key features is the introduction of the Kiosk-Mode User Interface. Kiosk-mode presents an elegant solution to prevent users from running unwanted programs. Furthermore, it simplifies the way users launch and interact with programs making it an ideal solution for introducing a Linux/Unix box to newcomers. If enabled, it completely replaces the standard desktop with a much more controlled but intuitive environment that looks the same across all platforms. Your customers will not know whether you are running a Windows or an OpenBSD box under the hood!
