Social-network open-source project Diaspora named 'rookie of the year'
Showing how social networking was a hot trend in 2010, open-source project Diaspora topped Black Duck’s third annual “Rookies of the Year” list, which distinguishes the most “buzz-worthy” open-source projects started last year.
After evaluating project popularity based on the number of developers involved, project activity (such as the number of times code is committed to a project), and the number of websites linked to a project, Diaspora, a privacy-sensitive and personally controlled social network, was the clear No. 1 project, said Philip Marshall, senior product marketing manager at Black Duck.
“With over 900 in-bound links, it was a clear indication this project had a lot of buzz,” he added. “And quite frankly, no matter how we cut the data…Diaspora came out glowing each and every time.”
