Open Source Software: Top 59 Sites
Frequently, Datamation puts together lists of top open source software. This time we've done something a little different and made a list of top open source Web sites.
Of course, literally thousands of sites and forums provide news and information about open source software. To narrow things done, we focused on sites that provide a lot of links of open source applications – the top places to download open source software.
These sites fall into several categories. The "project hosting" category includes giants like SourceForge that provide server space for open source code and allow downloads. The "directories" category includes sites that have created lists of open source projects and update those lists regularly, but that don't actually host the code themselves.
Project Hosting Sites
1. SourceForge
The "mother lode" for open source projects, SourceForge hosts nearly 280,000 projects (at last count). It serves more than 2 million downloads a day and includes apps and tools in a wide variety of categories.
2. GitHub

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
