Count 2012 Ten Open source projects

The old year is just past, it is time to make a summary of the time, and talk about our future prospects. In this article, I will take you together to review the 2012 years of the most successful ten open source projects.

Apache Hadoop

From many points of view, 2012 years is a year of big data. Multiple distributions of Hadoop were listed during the same year, and the status of industry leaders took a hit. Hortonworks, Cloudera and MAPR are emerging in the first race, but many of the technology giants led by IBM are starting to take tentative steps toward Hadoop. The wave of the big data revolution is bound to be even more turbulent, and the king of Hadoop seems unshakable, no matter how turbulent the situation.

MongoDB

Close comrades and indirect beneficiaries of the big data revolution have a number of non relational databases, and the huge market demands of large data analysis businesses have made their popularity soar over the past year. Although it is too early to assert the winner of the NoSQL competition, the MongoDB from the 10Gen company has gradually established its dominance through good pre-sale results and customer feedback, not to mention the value-added of the enterprises. With the full support of the veteran technical team, MongoDB has basically established a clear winning stance, which has even been recognized by its rivals.

OpenStack

Given that there are two of US space agency and Rackspace in the back, OpenStack many have received strong support from dozens of companies. Yet this broad support capability is also a double-edged sword, and critics argue that although OpenStack is recognised by many companies, the final release of the project, and even whether these companies will actually adopt the technology, is unknown. Although there is a reactionary sound, but as a code more than 6,000 lines of large-scale projects, OpenStack still prove their own value and the degree of attention. Faced with the OpenStack of Amazon and Cloudstack's two rivals, the company is still determined to move on in this area of the cloud market.

Pentaho

Pentaho builds a huge business system based on business intelligence and integrates its own products with several Hadoop partners, including the NoSQL company. In 2012, the project achieved the desired financing results while also gaining the favor of customers. Although Pentaho has become famous in particular circles, it should also be a new and noteworthy business Intelligence project for most friends who are unfamiliar with the market.

PostgreSQL

Although for some time since the NoSQL database criticism of the sound of the uproar, but the traditional relational database of the survival of the space is not really the end of the rope. While many analysts believe Oracle's full control of MySQL is the number one disaster in the open source database, there will be new life after the Holocaust, and many young Open-source SQL databases are taking the chance to thrive. The PostgreSQL project is an excellent example of the wind, and the Enterprisedb company, which provides business support and services, is ushering in an exciting and rapid development.

Joomla

There are many outstanding open source solutions in the field of Web content management. You can choose from the top of several options, do not have to worry about the effect can not achieve expectations. Joomla is able to take the top in retrospect, first of all thanks to its platform-targeted development positioning. This platform supports a wide variety of applications and provides users with a more powerful and flexible web management experience with good scalability.

WordPress

Although there are Joomla this web platform Jinyu in the front, but WordPress adhere to the "blog platform" as the core of the development concept also let it have sufficient space for development. While we are not entirely sure, the call for WordPress as the "most popular web content management platform" is really loud. Personally, I use WordPress in my blog and I'm satisfied with the results. With the steady increase in popularity, its plug-in lineup has become increasingly powerful. In fact, we can hardly find any demand that is not possible on WordPress blog. Security has plagued WordPress for the past few years, but for now it has faded.

DotNetNuke (referred to as DNN)

Although not as popular as the two Web content management platforms mentioned above, DotNetNuke still has made remarkable achievements in the past year. At the moment, Microsoft failed to provide enough support for DNN, a tool designed for Microsoft. NET platform development, but things are changing. Now Microsoft has officially supported DNN on its own azure cloud platform, and even used Microsoft's existing channels to help DNN build popularity in a collaborative way. At the same time, DNN is always consolidating its own e-commerce functions, cloud hosting programs, and so on, all these accumulated trust will be in the future as a good basis for its overall success.

SugarCRM

I am personally very pleased to finally be one of the successful examples of open source. For a long time, the project has been treated as an open-source version of Salesforce.com and has not received the attention it deserves. But it finally out of the shadow of Salesforce, and the attitude of CRM to win the industry's respect. In sugar's many functional combinations, there is always a set of patterns and a price to meet the needs of everyone. Although I still work on the road of innovation, I am glad to see Sugar finally found his foundation.

Audacity

While failing to achieve the same level of commercial success as the other members of the list, I decided to join audacity-a little selfish, and I personally liked it and got quite handy. To this day, I have not heard of any business enterprise intended to provide support or services for audacity, but what does it matter? It can actually accomplish their own tasks, which is the greatest achievement. If you need to deal with audio files, Audacity is undoubtedly a benchmark-it perfectly illustrates the trade-off between ease of use and functionality. Dispel the doubt in mind, this product's cumulative download number has reached 70 million times, the number has explained everything.
