Welcome to Digirati's open-source software web site. You find all Digirati's contributions to Internet community here. We hope it's useful to you.
We are an Internet company that not only uses many products and services run by Internet communities, but we are also willing to help these communities. We monthly choose two projects and donate US$ 100.00 to each one.
The picking criteria are that we have to know the service or product, use it, be happy with its quality, and it must be free.
If you want to participate, donate directly to one of the listed projects below. If you'd like to help our projects, contract one of the services offered by our divisions: HostNet, 100br, and IMD.

the infrastructure of the universal connected self-organizing
Internet - and the autonomy of its participants - by developing
and maintaining core production quality software, protocols, and
operations.

2008 April 8th: The Apache Software Foundation - The ASF provides support for the Apache community of open-source software projects.
We donated US$ 100.00 through PayPal.
2008 March 4rd: The phpMyAdmin Project - phpMyAdmin is a tool written in PHP intended to handle the administration of MySQL over the Web.
We donated US$ 100.00 through PayPal.
2008 March 4th: OpenSSH is a FREE version of the SSH connectivity tools that technical users of the Internet rely on. Users of telnet, rlogin, and ftp may not realize that their password is transmitted across the Internet unencrypted, but it is. OpenSSH encrypts all traffic (including passwords) to effectively eliminate eavesdropping, connection hijacking, and other attacks. Additionally, OpenSSH provides secure tunneling capabilities and several authentication methods, and supports all SSH protocol versions.
We donated US$ 100.00 through PayPal.

Below is a list of papers published with the participation of people working at Digirati.
Andre Nathan and Valmir C. Barbosa, "V-like formations in flocks of artificial birds", Artificial Life 14 (2008), 179—188.
Besides being an important step in understanding the emergence of coordinated motion of flocks of birds flying in formation commonly found in nature, we consider this to be an initial step in the process of building self-organizing systems of distributed agents with no centralized control.
Abstract: We consider flocks of artificial birds and study the emergence of V-like formations during flight. We introduce a small set of fully distributed positioning rules to guide the birds' movements and demonstrate, by means of simulations, that they tend to lead to stabilization into several of the well-known V-like formations that have been observed in nature. We also provide quantitative indicators that we believe are closely related to achieving V-like formations, and study their behavior over a large set of independent simulations.
