“That’s right folks, another ten best! But this time
I’ll wager you’re not familiar with any of them, or at best one or
two. The free/open source software world is vast and full of
excellent applications for all occasions. An interesting trend is
the growth of large distributed projects such as OpenTox and AMEE.

“FOSS presents a natural platform for building large distributed
projects because of the low barrier to entry– open code, open
standards, and freely-available robust, high-quality
high-performance software.”
