Are there any good opensource Geoparsers? There are several free solutions (services) available (e.g. Yahoo's placemaker, EDINA's Unlock Text) but they do not appear to be opensource.
Ideally the parser should be aimed to mine location information from arbitrary text (as opposed to expect input to be a location, like Google's Geo Coding API or GeoName's search API but such suggestions are welcome as well.
Thanks in advance.
Related question on SO: Identifying geographical locations in text
UPDATE:
Apparently Unlock Text is based on "Edinburgh Geoparser" which is open source (GPL) but not currently publicly downladable (source).
Fairly recent evaluation of geoparsers: http://www.scribd.com/doc/41603112/geoparser
This one seems pretty cool, but the implementation assumes the address to be US address: http://openblockproject.org/docs/index.html
List of parsers found so far:
- JGeocoder http://jgeocoder.sourceforge.net/parser.html
- Gisgraphy http://www.gisgraphy.com/
- Geotools http://www.geotools.org/
(geotools does not seem to provide geocoding (http://osgeo-org.1560.n6.nabble.com/Review-or-Suggestion-for-Geocoding-Service-in-US-td4991055.html))

- Reverse geotagging
- Geohack
CLAVIN seems like a possible option.
From the website: "CLAVIN (Cartographic Location And Vicinity INdexer) is an award-winning open source software package for document geotagging and geoparsing that employs context-based geographic entity resolution."

I'm working on Sbire which use google speech-api. There is a some things which I don't like with this api.
First, this is not in streaming mode. It receive small audio files but there is no real pipes.
Secondly, it's not precise. Google does not record our voice to learn our accent. I think it's very important to have a good quality of recognition.
I'm looking for a free api or an open-source tool.
Actually there is a streaming mode, but it requires an API key. Here is an example of how to use it: http://mikepultz.com/2013/07/google-speech-api-full-duplex-php-version/
If you want something that learns, you'll need to create a neural network to handle the data. The best open source tool, however, is CMUSphinx or pocketSphinx(a mini version of CMUSphinx). Here is a link to that tool: http://sourceforge.net/p/cmusphinx/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/
The best part of CMU-Sphinx, however, is that you can set a dictionary of keywords. Instead of outputting gibberish, you can have it ONLY output those commands and finds the command closest to what it thinks you are saying. This make speech recognition incredibly accurate, but only work for a small set of words.

Is sourceforge really the only host to let me see the countries from which my code is being downloaded and the OS they are using?
Is there a way on github, or other open-source hosts, to do the same?
I don't think so, considering the kind of data GitHub offered to be analyzed with Google BigQuery (and its GitHub Data Challenge)
You can see here an example of the kind of visualization you can produce from those data (no data bout countries in there):
GitHub data analysis
For instance:
The analysis of creation of new repository shows, that the pattern of busy or calm hours remains over the years.
For all those who are looking for Google Analytics for Github statistics maybe GA-Beacon could be a solution.

Is there a decent website or service out there where developers can propose a new idea for an open source project (regardless of language) and have the community vote it up / down, form teams, and do everything that precedes writing the first line of code?
There is the SomeBodyMakeThis reddit. Also, project sites like SourceForge allow you to create a project which is in the "planning" stage. Often, this is used by people who think they have a good idea and want somebody else to make it for them.
Kind of like Kickstarter (for funding), SourceForge (for hosting), or an IdeaStorm (for brainstorming and community feedback)? The Apache Foundation, or the Horde project (for incubating a plethora of related projects)? It really depends on to what your idea relates. Try joining one of the relevant extant open-source communities and sounding off on your idea.

I've been looking into setting up and trying out Neo4j on Amazon EC2 however I seem to have hit a road block with finding documentation that I can use.
For example, this page mentions "Clustering, High Availability and Online Backup are add-on components that manage distribution and consistency over several live or offline node spaces." However, I haven't been able to find any more information on these add-ons.
http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Neo4j_in_the_Cloud
This seemingly key wiki page describing how to set up Neo4j seems to be missing some very information.
http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Neo4j_Setup_HowTo
Is anyone else using this and referencing better documentation, or am I completely missing something?
You can find some related info at this link, although the setup might depend a bit your requirements. The HA support is currently in beta, we will be able to let you test it as soon as Neo4j 1.0 is out of the door, which is before end of Jan 2010.

Is there a open source meme tracker ? I want to create something like techmeme for some specific topic. So is there something in open source that u can use to create ?
Refer to the Memetracker module. Here is an excerpt from its project page:
... uses algorithms in the machinelearningapi to intelligently filter and group content from designated content sources both internal and external. The module's purpose is to find and display to a community in real time the most interesting conversations and memes within a community as they emerge.
Try Pipes.
You can use pipes to combine many feeds into one, and you can sort and filter it.
You can also translate it or turn it into a map!
The data recieved is standard RSS, JSON, ...
It's from Yahoo!
