It’s become something of a summer tradition here at Datamation to take a break from featuring open source apps for businesses and concentrate on open source apps that are just plain fun. This year, we’ve updated and expanded our list of the open source movement’s “funnest” apps with 100 titles in all. We’ve added two entirely new categories: board games and sports games, and we found plenty of good games that we had overlooked on previous versions of this list.
With no further ado, here’s the 2012 edition of the “funnest” open source apps. As always, please use the comments section below to let us know about any worthy apps we might have overlooked.
(P.S. For the grammar nazis out there, we know that “funnest” isn’t a word–that’s why it’s in quotes.)
