Happy birthday to Opensource.com: 7 years of open source



On our lucky 7th birthday, the Opensource.com team decided to get visual.

First, a big THANK YOU to our entire community of readers, contributors, advisors, moderators, columnists, and more. Without you, none of this would be possible. We are in constant awe of what you share with us, and honored to be a storytelling platform for the open source community. In 2017, we hope to reach even larger, broader audiences with powerful stories of “open.”

In addition to celebrating our birthday today, we’re launching our 2016 Open Source Yearbook! The yearbook rounds up the top projects, technologies, and stories from 2016. Get your free download.

What we wrote about in 2016

Last year, we focused much more on technology topics, while continuing to cover how open source goes beyond technology.
