OSDK GoalsOSDK Goals

Provide developers with a means to effectively organize, review, learn and apply the vast amount of Open Source software available today.

Prove that Open Source software can create an environment that is as complete and robust as commercial software alternatives.

Assumptions & Bias

We assume that the following issues exist for the typical developer in larger, corporate environments and therefore much of the OSDK is biased on that perspective.

Difficult to convince management that OSS solutions are a viable alternative to commercial software.

Difficult to filter through all the OSS and find what you need.

No roadmap to understand where each OSS project fits within the development process.

No confidence that you have found all the OSS that addresses your needs.

No means to judge the quality of the OSS.

Open Source solutions exist for every aspect of software development and deployment

Open Source is being used by commercial software vendors

The commercial software business model is changing.

Organizations are realizing significant benefits in Open Source usage.
