Introduction of The Open Source Census

In 2008, OpenLogic plans to launch The Open Source Census, which will expand
the statistics collected and reported on enterprise open source adoption. The
Open Source Census, announced by OpenLogic in December 2007, is a collaborative
initiative designed to provide enterprises a way to easily inventory the
open source software installed on their machines, and anonymously submit that
data to The Open Source Census. Data collected in The Open Source Census
will be aggregated and shared publicly on the Internet and will also be
available to the enterprises who contribute data.

For more information on The Open Source Census project or co-sponsor
opportunities,

used to inventory installed open source, and access to the community for OSS
Discovery are at www.ossdiscovery.org.
