Windows: Software synthesizer "AmigaKlang" generates samples for MOD files
The software synthesizer 'AmigaKlang' generates samples which can be used in MOD tracks, typical for the Amiga. The samples can be saved as binary files or directly written in existing MOD files but also be exported as Amiga code which is very memory saving because the samples are only generated when they were started (Example on Soundcloud, 27 KB).

Internal Flickerfixer/Scandoubler for A500/A2000 under free licence
Niklas Ekström is working on a FPGA-based Scandoubler/Flickerfixer which can be internally used in an Amiga 500 or 2000. In a first development stage a DE10-Lite-FPGA-developer board is connected to the pins of the custom chip "Denise". The FPGA generates a VGA signal from the CSYNC and 12-Bit-RGB signals. Originally the next step would have been a completed board equipped with FPGA and a SDRAM module directly put on the Denise.

Porting Amiga applications on Linux: AxRuntime
Krzysztof 'deadwood' Śmiechowicz' "AxRuntime" is a runtime environment for Linux which emulates the AmigaOS-API and therefore enables porting Amiga applications on Linux and developing applications which can be compiled for AmigaOS/MorphOS/AROS as well as Linux. Examples videos show the AROS desktop Wanderer (MP4) and gmPlayer (MP4) under Linux.
In a discussion on AmigaWorld Śmiechowicz explained that currently the APIs of AmigaOS 3.1, CybergraphX, AHI, MUI as well as of some open source libraries and classes are supported but "It is the intend to eventually support API from all (Amiga)families".
