DVDStyler, a cross-platform, free DVD authoring application that allows video enthusiasts to create professional-looking DVDs, is now at version 2.7.2 and is available for download.
DVDStyler is a piece of software that can be primarily used to create and burn DVD-Videos with interactive menus, but it also allows users to design their own DVDs. Even if this activity seems to be going away, this is still a very powerful application with a lot of cool features.

NixNote, previously known as Nevernote, is an unofficial Evernote client for Linux which was initially written in Java. NixNote 2 is a complete rewrite of NixNote in C++ using the Qt framework, having speed and a reduced memory footprint as the main goals. Java is still used for encrypting / decrypting text in NixNote 2, but it's optional so you don't have to install it if you don't need this feature.
Linux Thermal Daemon (thermald) is a tool developed by Intel's Open Source Technology Center which monitors and controls the CPU temperature, preventing it from overheating.
