WhyOpenSource?

We do believe in a competitive Business Model based on OpenSource software.

The development process based on this open model has demostrated to be an effective way to decrease development time and design, implementation, probes and quality control costs.

Some of the reasons why we have chosen this way to do software for Osmius are the followings:

From the User point of view

• Optimize diffusion and scalability.
• New possibilities to collaborate.
• You see what it is.

 

From the Developer point of view

• Take advantage of the community experience and its resources.
• New possibilities to collaborate.
• Probe and quality Process improvement.

 

The Open Source licence makes it possible to use, inspect, extend and modify the entire Osmius platform.

All of this supported by the vast development, analysis and research documentation we are trying to generate to differenciate this project from others not so well documented.

There are big and consolidated bright projects who have been possible thanks to an "Open" development process. OSS is an expanding process in several areas like the business world, educations and universities, hacker community and industry. Open source represents the most significant all-encompassing and long-term trend that the software industry has seen since the early 1980s.

Osmius 8.07 is now available for you to download.

You'll find an automatic "one-click-button" installer  and also the tradicional compiling from the source way.

The new features are many and addressing several monitoring fields, so is better to try it and take a glace to the documentation. With this release we're trying to compete face-to-face with the "big" ones as a small sized company but open, with a sustainable business model, taking care of our own people, capable of creating good and quality products having also a great personal and family life. Why not?

We've enjoyed designing and implementing Osmius; we wish you to enjoy using and collaborating with it.
