When we started opentaps nine years ago, our goal was to create great
business software from open source. And have we ever! Most people

possible, but we did it — thanks to Linux, Apache, MySQL, PostgreSQL,
OFBiz, JasperReports, and many others open source projects.
The world, meanwhile, has moved forward too. It’s no secret that the
future of software is mobile, social, and big data, and open source software
is moving in those directions as well.

first announced, there was some grumbling from the security community about
yet another flavor of SSL. But Google said that with over 70 patches no... (more)
