Flaptor Open Source
by dbasch — 2 Comments »At Flaptor we believe in the open source philosophy. This is why we have decided to release our most widely used projects as open source. We have created Flaptor Open Source, an initiative for projects related to information retrieval.
We think this decision will be beneficial to the open source community as well as to our clients. On one hand, the community will be able to take advantage of proven and stable projects such as our search engine Search4j. On the other, we hope that the feedback from the developer and user communities will help us improve the quality, robustness and features of our code. This will benefit our clients, who will be running a better product. As for us, we expect to increase our market share and reach users who otherwise would not have been able to run our software. Of course, we will continue to sell support and customization services.
Through Flaptor Open Source we have already launched a byproduct of our search engine, called Clusterfest. It’s a framework to monitor and control multi-server java programs. Search4j will be available as open source soon, stay tuned!
[...] En Flaptor acabamos de anunciar que vamos a liberar el código de nuestro buscador Search4j (quizás con otro nombre). Pueden ver más detalles en el anuncio en inglés, o directamente en la página de Flaptor Open Source. [...]
