Ultimate OSS List-2010

Posted by JD 12/23/2010 at 01:12

Datamation has published their Ultimate Open Source Software List of 2010

Lots of good things in there for anyone that likes Open Source Software – OSS. Just to clarify, they seem to mix OSS, FLOSS and even some closed source things. More than a few in the 14 page article are not free and there are huge gaps in some of the categories where the best FLOSS tool is not mentioned at all.

The list has desktop and server software.
The list has trivial things like IM software and EBR software for medium-sized businesses.

There appear to be formatting errors in the article, so some of the lists aren’t split into new paragraphs, but those are fairly minor. The article is filled with jewels worthy of the 5 minutes to scan it for new stuff.

Related, I always perform a freshmeat query when looking for software to do X. There are thousands and thousands of FLOSS projects there.
