We open sourced Discovery! Check it out!
We just released OSS Discovery as open source software.
OSS Discovery is an open source tool that finds installed open source software. It can be used to inventory open source software across an enterprise or on a single computer.
To go with it, we also announced a new initiative, The Open Source Census.
The Open Source Census is a global, collaborative project to collect and share quantitative data on the use of open source software in enterprise. In short, that just means we want to count how many enterprise installations there are in the world for each open source package.
The goal behind both of these projects is to promote the use of open source software by showing how much is already being used!
Come help us discover and promote open source software!
