Open Source Modules in FreeGee

Areas of Technologies

The Open-Source modules contained in the FreeGee platform cover all important technology areas, needed for the reliable use of software:

• Scripting language for fast gluing of components and rapid application development
• Graphical user-interfaces for different platforms
• Object-relational database with well-engineered transaction mechanisms
• Object-oriented middleware with full support of popular programming languages
• Crypto-technology for secure handling of data
• Web-server framework for low-maintenance operating

Handpicked from the Best, for the Best

In FreeGee we collected Open-Source products only, which are well-proven, well-implemented, support open and standard-compliant interfaces, and are well documented. Beyond short-term market hypes we selected products with high technical qualities, that fulfill even long-term business requirements. Therefor high scalibility and a large base of developers and users have been decision criteria, too. Some of the modules have a track record of almost 20 years, won several awards, or they are even market leaders.

The following Open-Source modules fulfill the technological, strategic and economic requirements on a platform for operating netcentric and capable business software:

• Python as easy-to-learn, many-sided scripting language (WWW & Internet, XML, CORBA-scripting)
• wxWindows as platform-independent framework for native, graphical user-interfaces (Frontends)
• PostgreSQL as object-relational database management-system, also appropriate for high-end requirements
• omniORB as high-performant and highly integrative CORBA middleware
• GnuPG as Public-Key Crypto-system (Cryptifying and Authentication)
• Apache as Web-server for professional and high-performant Web-based services
• Plus: Adapters and scripts for Python and C++, to integrate and install all main modules; as well as a common brief manual for a quick overview and start-up
