Find Open Source Alternatives to commercial software | Open Source Alternative – osalt.com.

Since the beginning of time, we, all of us, have wanted a site listing fairly, impartially, accurately, and disinterestedly open source options–alternatives or not. (Personally, I’m tired of the “alternative” tag and really, but really, want to see open source strut its stuff with new things.)

Without comment, and certainly without prejudice or sarcasm, here’s Osalt. It probably is not the DMOZ of the present or the fantasy we, every single one of us wants… (get it? I’m joking: I cannot speak for myself let alone anyone else, above all for all).

But the point is: If you have better, tell me.

Or, better yet: do it.

Or, best yet, let’s start something really new… (and I mean I suppose a new blog post.)

Meanwhile, what I’d really like to see: good open source alternatives to Expensify, Pivotal Tracker and the like. Tools that SMBs use.
