The aim of the Open Source Software Directory is to list the
best and
most promising open source software available
on the Internet. The focus is on end-user programs
for home users, and small and medium businesses. In addition, it contains applications
for software developers and system administrators.
Some requirements for inclusion are; the software must be released under an OSI
(Open Source Initiative) approved Open Source License, the software must be stable
or a stable release is expected in the near future, there must be some sign of
activity (if a project is dead it will not be included) and last but not least there
must be a decent website to download the software from.
If you like this website and want to help to promote it, you can use one of the
posters below. You can hang it at your work, university or school.

to bookmark a subcategory. Besides these changes many small issues have been resolved.

The beta version of the Open Source Software Directory has been released today.
The goal of the beta period is to process users' feedback and to add more applications.
Open source software is software of which the source code is made available for users
and developers. Source code is the text that programmers write. Open source software is
usually developed by people who work together through the internet. For more information,
read the article on Wikipedia.
Several open source programs have more than one license or have beside the open
source license also a closed source license. This site includes only the main open source
license. If you find some incorrect license information please send me an email.
