SOS Open Source is Back!

10 December 2012

Over the last year and a half I have been happily busy with my new job at SourceForge, as a result I had little time to keep analyzing open source projects and write reports.

In the meantime I have been thinking of few ways to keep SOS Open Source live, and I finally found a way to re-use SOS Open Source experience and tools to the benefit of the public.

Having submitted few R&D proposals to the EU, I am glad that among the approved projects is the MARKOS project. In fact the MARKetplace for Open Source project will be a great chance to finally productize some of the SOS Open Source features and ideas.

All MARKOS’ software outcomes will be made available as open source software, look forward to share the first release sometimes in Q3 2013, stay tuned!
