crn.com — Open Source Software is about more than just the Linux operating system, and 2008 brought advances in the form of OpenOffice.org, IBM Lotus Symphony, Firefox and Android.

why did this need to be a slideshow? there's little that annoys me more (on the web) than "top 10 X" articles that use slideshows/multiple pages when a single page would do just fine...

For some reason, pretty much all of the open source stories that get to the frontpage are total crap, even in the linux section.

Hey, does anyone know of any open source/Linux tools that can be used for professional graphic design. I've managed to track down the usual suspects, but this does seem to be a rather underdeveloped area. And I don't mean those home-use photo-editing tools, I mean something that can be used at a more professional level. Do a search for 'open source graphic design software programs' and there is very little of a professional nature that comes up.

I think VinvinVinvin meant IBM Lotus Symphony, which isn't free/open source. Symfony is something entirely different."Symphony is available for Linux and Windows, and Mac OS X. It is based on Eclipse Rich Client Platform from IBM Lotus Expeditor for its shell and OpenOffice.org 1.1.4 for the core office suite code. OpenOffice.org version 1.1.4 was dual licensed under both the GNU Lesser General Public License and Sun's own SISSL, which allowed for entities to change the code without releasing their changes. Therefore, IBM does not have to release the source code of Symphony."<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Symphony">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Symphony</a>Buried as inaccurate.
