SOS Open Source has been launched just six months ago, and since then both open source vendors and large customers asked for evaluations and comparison assessment reports.
Since we have been asked to qualify more community-led projects, starting from this month will publish every month a new report about one of them.
To know more about SOS Open Source read also today’s Dana Blankenhorn blog post.
The European Commission when assigning funds sometimes paid little attention to projects’ overlapping, that it comes with no surprise considering that they don’t keep updated the European F/OSS-related research activities page.
Jean-Christophe Deprez – QualOSS project coordinator – in a email conversation told me that the EC eventually realized it, and asked few EC-funded projects to collaborate, as results from the Flossquality initiative.
Collection, aggregation and correlation of data fetched by open source public repositories is of great help when you need to assess open source product quality. Let’s see how things are going at QualOSS and what should we expect from them in the next future.
