At work we currently have a discussion: I'd like to develop some components as Free
Software. My bosses like the idea, but the client goes nuts only thinking about it.
So as part of the discussion I thought to collect those companies who actively advertise their
Free Software. I know about the big ones, but it would be even more interesting
to get a list of succesful small companies that share at least part of their
inhouse projects. On the other hand it would not be too interesting to list full
Free Software companies like Red Hat.
It would also be fine to share this list in some wiki (FSFE?) when it grows
larger. For some companies I also list very popular projects from my point of
view.
big companies
- Adobe
- Facebook: Cassandra, Thrift, Scribe, HipHop for PHP, ...
- Yahoo: YUI, Design Pattern Library, YSlow, Hadoop, ZooKeeper
- Twitter
- Google: Chromium Browser, Google Summer of Code, Android, Google Web Toolkit (GWT), Protocol Buffers - data interchange format, Java Collections Library, unladen-swallow - faster implementation of Python, ...
- IBM: Developerworks (Tutorials), Eclipse, International Components for Unicode (ICU)
middle sized companies
small companies
Update: Need to add Danga (Gearman), Liip.ch with Okapi, Flux CMS, Jackalope, rackspace

Vor einigen Wochen habe ich meine Freunde Zellmi und Natalie in ihrer neuen Heimat, der Kommune Waltershausen (KoWa) besucht. Es hat mir sehr gut gefallen und ich wäre am liebsten gleich eingezogen. Aber meine Frau und ich sind gerade erst an den Bodensee gezogen und auch beide beruflich gebunden. Also warum nicht so etwas ähnliches am Bodensee beginnen? Es muss ja nicht gleich eine Kommune sein; eine Wohngemeinschaft wäre ein Anfang.
