Gnome-Pie is a circular application launcher for Linux. It is made of several pies, each consisting of multiple slices. The user presses a key stroke which opens the desired pie. By activating one of its slices, applications may be launched, key presses may be simulated or files can be opened.

There is a PPA with a recent version of Gnome-Pie. If you simply want to test it, it's very easy to install:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:simonschneegans/testing
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gnome-pie
Please refer to the guides on Gnome-Pie's homepage!
I really like working on Gnome-Pie — and you can help improving it! There are multiple ways:
This is really easy: There is an how-to available!
If you can’t afford the time to do the stuff mentioned above, but still want to help — you can help improving this software by buying some drinks for a poor student ;) ! You can do this with the Flattr or by donating via PayPal. If you happen to dislike PayPal, send a mail to code@simonschneegans.de and we can chat about this!
