Does your Software cost too much? Mine doesn’t.
John’s Top 7 Open Source Software Sites
Are you breaking the bank on your commercial software costs? Tired of all the activation keys and hidden software service costs? Check out these directories of my favorite open source software applications–and save yourself lots of time and money.
You knew it was coming, eh? Still the best resource IMO. SourceForge is the global technology community’s hub for information exchange, open source software distribution and services, and goods for geeks all over the world. I’d recommend looking for projects here before anywhere else.
contains thousands of applications, which are preferably released under an open source license, are meticulously cataloged in the freshmeat database, and links to new applications are added daily. Each entry provides a description of the software, links to download it and to obtain more information, and a history of the project’s releases, so readers can keep up-to-date on the latest developments. Highly Recommended!
Mohawke’s Best of the Best Free and Open Source Software Collection
This list contains hundreds of OSS for Windows, Mac Linux and Internet. Sortable by Title, description, license and type. Great section on games too, if you want to check them out.
Free and Open Source Software Directory (FLOSS/FOSS)
Nice directory of links with categories to match. Good OSS listings on ftp, e-Commerce, Security and CMS. I like this one especially because for the more popular results, they show you screenshots of the interfaces. If you don’t find what you’re looking for however, I’d try sourceforge as the list of their apps is kind of slim.
contains thousands of developing open source projects! The directory website includes categorized links for platforms, a full-text search feature, user submission and news updates (requires free account creation) and ranking system for stable applications. Definitely go check this one out if you’re into new and developing projects.
I freaking love this site! Apart from having a newsletter and great search features, they are committed to helping users find an open source alternative to their current commercial one. Find open source alternatives to your favorite commercial products. Browse through software categories and compare pros and cons of both commercial products as well as open source software.
This website is sponsored by the Free Software Foundation and proves to be a viable resource for all types of open source software and furthering the GNU cause. Please go read up on open source initiatives and check out their software list as well!
