Oh and this is what I do all my audio editing - for my podcasts and video sound tracks - WE need this now-a-days to further enhance our profile.

top 50 list of proprietary programmes and their open source alternatives. Looks like we could point them to a better CAD alternative, but there are some great sounding programmes here.

PTLens:
http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/
PTLens is software that corrects lens pincushion/barrel distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration, and perspective. Very useful for correcting architectural images or landscape shots. (although not strictly Open Source - at $25 for a licence it is near as free! - you can also try it out for free for 10 images!)

Audacity used to be one of my favourite bits of software - well still is in many ways. It works really well.
However computers pre-loaded with Windows 7 contain a stereo blocker so that although you can edit audio files created in stereo on Audacity you can now only record from your computer onto Audacity in mono.

For the TAG people... try this
Great for conference submissions. A non linear presentation - and it is free up to 100 meg. No powerpoint for me! this is non linear and pretty damn sexy

This is a great thread!
At OA North we've recently produced a load of free PDF manuals on using open (mainly GIS) source software within archaeology. They include guides to total station and GPS survey, data download, using gvSIG and QGIS (a variety of tasks), enhancing maps and illustrations in Inkscape, databases in PostgreSQL and PostGIS, 3D visualisation etc.
They are all on the
OA library (search for GIS), but I've also summarised them on my
website.
