Are
you tired of spending the largest portion of your IT budget on Software
and feeding the fat cats?
The aim of this web
site is to supply you with an easy to use directory of Open Source Software
which you can use to replace the proprietary software you are currently
using.
What is open
source software (OSS)?
Open source software is software that is developed collaboratively by
developers across the globe. The software itself is available at little
or no cost. The source code (the human-readable version of the software)
is distributed with the executable form, giving users of the software
the freedom to modify, adapt and improve the software to meet their needs.
What makes open source
software special?
The basic idea behind open source is very simple: when programmers can
read, redistribute, and modify the source code for a piece of software,
the software evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs.
And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of
conventional software development, seems astonishing. At first sight,
one might think that this seemingly uncoordinated method of software development
would result in chaos, but on the contrary, open source software is well-known
for its quality, reliability and security compared with proprietary software.
(If open source software
is so great,) why haven't we heard of this before?
Until recently, OSS was mostly developed by programmers in their spare
time. They were doing what they loved — writing software for themselves
and sharing it with their fellow programmers. Consequently, the software
was never marketed, but remained a "best kept secret" in the
academic and technical communities. (In fact, the majority of the Internet
is built on open source technologies, as the Internet initially grew out
of academic institutions.) Contrast this with proprietary software companies
who spend a large portion of their budgets on advertising and marketing.
Is open source software
free?
Yes and no. In the monetary sense, open source software is free in that
users may freely copy and distribute the software (see the open source
definition for more detail). However, a total IT solution consists of
hardware, software and services such as support and training. It is important
to take all of these into account when discussing the cost of software.
The free concept in open source software refers more specifically to freedom:
free as in "free speech" or "free market", rather
than "free beer". OSS gives users the freedom to use and modify
the software to suit their own needs. For non-technical users, this means
the freedom from being locked into a single provider for software fixes,
upgrades, support and other services.
What can open source
software do for the home user?
There are open source software equivalents for most (if not all) home
users' IT requirements, from document processing (office productivity
suites) to dialup, email and Web browsing functionality, to games, multimedia
and graphics applications. Since open source software may be freely used,
copied and redistributed, it offers a very affordable IT solution to home
users. Add to that the fact that open source software is often more stable
and less buggy than many of its proprietary counterparts... What are you
waiting for?
