OpenSource.net Highlights Its Top Articles of 2024
OpenSource.net, launched in September 2023 under the leadership of Editor-in-Chief Nicole Martinelli, has quickly become a hub for insightful discussions on open source software, hardware, and culture. As the platform reflects on its first full year, it celebrates the standout articles of 2024, showcasing the breadth and depth of its contributors' expertise.
In the Business with Open Source category, articles like "Open Source Projects vs Products: A Strategic Approach" by Thomas Di Giacomo and "Demystifying Open Source as a Business" by Julia Machado offered strategic insights. Meanwhile, Olga Rusakova’s "Open Source Visibility Hacks" stood out for its practical advice.
Under Community and Projects, Dawn Foster’s piece on metrics and Anita Ihuman’s focus on DEI broke new ground in fostering inclusive Open Source environments. Additionally, Jason Perlow celebrated the enduring legacy of FreeBSD, and Jim Hall marked FreeDOS’s 30-year milestone.
Sustainability and AI also took center stage, with Tobias Augspurger and Mia Lykou Lund exploring the intersection of open source with environmental and artificial intelligence concerns.
Supported by Cisco, OpenSource.net invites contributors to share their perspectives in 2025.
