10 open source companies to watch
,----[ Quote ]
| With the Open Source Conference (OSCon) and IDG's LinuxWorld show in the
| rearview mirror of 2008, it is clear that open source is no longer just a
| trendy conversation.
|
| What has happened is a clear evolution of a community that has grown up and
| produced intelligent, cutting-edge technologies with an eye on making
| computing faster, smarter and cheaper for corporate users. Companies like
| Openmoko are challenging the mobile device market with its notion that users
| should control what applications are installed. Others like XAware and
| SnapLogic are opening up data integration possibilities, and still more are
| tangling with virtualization, databases, and trading systems. Along with a
| company accurately called Untangle, the companies' point is to make computing
| less complex.
