10 New Open Source Projects to Watch
Black Duck Software recently announced its 2010 open-source Rookies of the Year list. According to Black Duck's list, the top open source project is Diaspora, a social network that began its testing phase in November, followed by OpenStack, an open standards cloud computing platform that is used by RackSpace and NASA. Cloud99IDE, an integrated development environment, OpenStack Nova, a cloud computing fabric controller, and NuGet, a package management system, were third, fourth, and fifth on Black Duck's list, respectively.
Activiti BPM Platform, a business process management and workflow system, ranks sixth, and SparkleShare, a file sharing and collaboration tool, ranks seventh. VoltDB, a scalable online transaction processing SQL database, RapidFTR, a mobile application that allows emergency workers to share information about children in dangerous situations, and ownCloud, a personal cloud system, ranked eighth, ninth, and tenth, respectively.
"Each project in the top 10 represents the expanding use of open source by developers and the larger community, especially in the mobile and cloud communities," says Black Duck's Peter Vescuso.
