I too am trying to build not only a voice command database that will accept an endlessly growing amount of commands I would program but I have become very interested in mapping out my home with X and Y mapping so the computer understands where you are at any given time.

The need for this comes when you provide a voice command the computer knows which speakers to route the response to along with which room is to be affected by the command. Say if you speak a command to adjust the lighting; the computer takes in your X and Y, realizes you are in the kitchen and it adjusts the lights in that area.

Either way, I would love to see some source code for this. I see this is mainly linux based. I use Windows and am in the process of writing my own voice recognition software that can grow with me as I need for it to.

I would just love to be contacted by other that are interested in the same thing(s).

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
