The first Open Source Industry & Community Report

This will most likely be old news for most — Waugh Partners released the first Australian Open Source Industry & Community Report following the census they conducted over the last year. This is it:

Industry: The Open Source Industry and Community Report
Industry, page 8 of the report.

Now with KLEPAS.ORG resurrected I wanted to briefly touch on it and entice those who haven’t yet seen it to download a copy. The report is licensed under a Creative Commons license and thus can be redistributed freely. A print copy is on its way — again see the census page above for more information.

I worked with Waugh Partners on the report producing their bar and pie graphs over the last few months. The work was done entirely using open source tools — namely Inkscape and Scribus. Working with Waugh Partners was a sincere pleasure: I was actively encouraged to use open source tools and of course got to have a sneak peak at the report. Thanks Jeff & Pia.

    Hey Pascal,

    Well done. you should be proud of your work on this — the graphs really lift the report — stats alone are useful — but the eye-catching presentation makes them more interesting — and hopefully this means more people will grok the value of this important report.

    Cheers, Donna
