Open Source Software: Top 59 Sites

[ Thanks to James

“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.

“Sites that made a list of great open source software at some
point in time but that don’t update those lists on an ongoing basis
are in the “best of open source lists” category. In the
“collections” category, you’ll find projects that have rolled a
large number of open source projects into a single download.
Because these sites also contain links to the individual
applications they contain, they provide an excellent resource for
finding good open source software.”
