Open Source Software

The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers can read, redistribute, and modify the source code for a piece of software, the software evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing.

Open source software is an idea whose time has finally come. For twenty years it has been building momentum in the technical cultures that built the Internet and the World Wide Web. Now it's breaking out into the commercial world, and that's changing all the rules.

Blueloop have expertise in many Open Source initiatives. We support many of the standard Linux distributions and build upon these with solutions fit for the commercial world. You will be surprised how many pieces of Open Source software already exist in commercial solutions. The software may be free but our experience is priceless.
