Top Open Source Projects

1.Koha -Education

Koha is an open source integrated library system (ILS) maintained by and used by libraries all over the world.

With open source software people often think that the only way to contribute is to write code, this is not true. By simply using the product, reporting problems and suggesting improvements you’re contributing. What makes open source software so much better than proprietary software is the back and forth that takes place between those using the software and those writing it. With Koha the developers are very open to suggestions from those using the ILS and always use these suggestions as the building blocks for the next release.


2.  OpenStack -Cloud Computing

OpenStack is an open and scalable operating system for building public and private clouds. It provides both large and small organizations an alternative to closed cloud environments, reducing the risks of lock-in associated with proprietary platforms. OpenStack offers flexibility and choice through a highly engaged community of over 6,000 individuals and over 190 companies including Rackspace, Dell, HP, IBM, and Red Hat


3. Project Libre- project management

ProjectLibre is an open source project management software solution developed as an alternative to Microsoft Project. As with other project management tools, ProjectLibre maintains a list of tasks for users and automatically organizes and tracks tasks and projects as progress is made or they’re completed.
