Exploring the Open Source-iphere.
Rather than focusing on one, or a few, open source program(s) and doing a series, I am going to pay tribute to one of the patriarchs of the open source-iphere. So, rather than writing a review, I am going to provide you with the URLs to 10 Sourceforge content management systems. If you are unfamiliar with Sourceforge, it is the open source software upon which open source microblogging software like StatusNet is built. That’s right! Much of the social media marketing we do is because of open source platforms.
I won’t do this every week. To be honest, this is something I’ve been thinking about doing for a while. For now, this is my newest blogging experiment. I am going to provide you with these links every once in a while, so you can run with the information and research these on your own. There are so many Sourceforge open source software programs that it would take me forever to research them all myself. And aside from that, you’d get bored.
On that note, you too can build software for your social networking endeavors using Sourceforge. If you want to develop software, start by creating an account.
Next week I am going to focus on Open Source software for Macs. I am not sure how long of a series that will be, but I’ll gather some Mac friendly Open Source software throughout this week and let you know in next week’s blog.
Here are those Source Forge CMS:
- phpWebSite CMS
- TYPO3 Content Management Framework (What’s a CMF? It’s a customizable CMS.)
- Exponent CMS
- Alfresco CMS
- TGS CMS
- Post Nuke
- Callisto CMS
- Magnolia CMS/ECM/WCM
- Falt4 CMS
- Lanai CMS
Onto Mac specific OS software next week.
