Ostatic.com – All About Open Source

Ostatic.comOStatic is the newest addition to Om Malik’s influential network of technology news websites. The site reports on open source news, products, and companies.

After reviewing and coming across thousands of open source products in the past years, the creators decided to channel this knowledge to a specific website. OStatic catalogues active projects (where members can review the products and suggest alternatives), provides a forum for members to pose OS-related questions, and features software categories and subsequent products. The writers are experienced technology authors and active followers of the open source community.

Ostatic.com In Their Own Words

“Our goal is to increase the adoption of Open Source Software by helping users find viable projects and applications that fulfill specific needs, evaluate them against available alternatives and collaborate with their network of trusted peers.”

Why Ostatic.com It Might Be A Killer

As open source products and companies are increasingly receiving formal funding and legitimacy in the eyes of consumers, a respected web site to harness relevant news for investors, a mainstream customer audience, and industry insiders is a logical and smart step to take. If the creators bring the same level of writing and analysis to OStatic as they do to GigaOm and other related sites, OStatic should be the go-to place for OS news.
