Do people actually need something like EOS Directory? This is a question I ask myself from time to time when I look at all the work in front of and behind me. Well, even the most recent surveys reveal that identifying and selecting Open Source technologies is still a major challenge. And looking at something like SourceForge doesn’t make the job easier. Enterprise people are used to work with short lists, and this is exactly what EOS Directory tries to offer: a selection of enterprise ready Open Source technologies in a number of software categories. And as long as I meet so many people who tell me that they found the (Open Source) technology they were looking for thanks to an entry in EOS Directory, as long we will continue to update and improve it. There’s no real alternative and the things missing in EOS Directory can be amended (and will over the coming months).
