CRN: The 10 Coolest Open Source Products of 2008

CRN are continuing with their ‘Top 10‘ series to wrap up 2008 with this list of ‘The 10 Coolest Open Source Products of 2008‘. This time the focus is at the open source community, that has much more to offer than (just) Linux OS. Open source products will grow bigger in market share in 2009, as companies and individuals alike are looking for ways to cut down costs. Obviously, IBM’s own Lotus Symphony, which is based on OpenOffice.org, is included in this list, coming in at #3, just after Linux OS and OpenOffice 3.0. Here’s what CRN had to say about Symphony:

IBM has taken great pains to position itself as more of a middleware company than a desktop productivity software company, but diverged from that path a bit in 2008. By launching and upgrading its IBM Lotus Symphony suite of productivity apps based on OpenOffice.org, IBM is once again using the Lotus brand to take aim against Microsoft on the desktop.

Who is this person ?

I was playing the other day with Lotus Notes Live Text feature, which was heavily discussed in Lotus blogosphere. All you need is some curiosity.. Using a simple built-in Lotus Notes wizard, I created a live text action, that highlights every email address (you@your-domain.com) with a dotted blue line. Double click and a new browser tab opens within my Lotus Notes application, pasting the email in the ‘Search for’ field, changing the ‘Search type’ to ‘Internet address’, and submitting the request.

The final result: a profile page of the person behind the email address. Another simple way how Lotus Notes 8.0.1 can improve collaboration across your business. And it’s not an ‘Enterprise’ solution… Even if your company employs 100 people – do you know every one of them?
