Whats more I find that I am using more and more open source websites in my daily life. Without further ado here are 8 open source websites I use:

#
 Site

1 Wikipedia Great free encyclopedia Source
2 Reddit Social news site, similar to digg. Source
3 Planet Ubuntu Ok well I mostly just use the rss feeds. Source
4 earobinson.org That was a bit of a shameless plug but really any wordpress blog would do. Source
5 Identi.ca micro-blogging service similar to twitter. Source
6 Trac Great project management tool! Source
7 Launchpad Another great project management tool, used by the ubuntu community and many more. Source
8 Pastebin Great way to share snippets of text Source



and two that I don’t:

1 Drupal Like WordPress another great CMS Source
2 Libre.fm The open source version of Last.Fm a great music tracking service Source



Update: I just realized I also use tr.im as my url shortener and they will be going open source.

When I do I try not to write about projects that people may know about and I definitely do not write about projects that come pre installed with Ubuntu. I love open office but it comes  pre installed Ubuntu.  Trac however does not come pre installed with Ubuntu. There are many solutions out there like trac, sourceforge,  google code, launchpad, all of these solutions however are aimed at open source code you publish on the internet. Trac, however lets you host your own website, either on the web or your intranet. That provides a lot of the same features that are provide by the options for open source projects.

The other big option I have seen to trac is dr project (they actualy forked from trac). and while I do like a lot of the things that trac is doing (mailing list intergration for one). Trac has a large comunity and may plugins a few of the plugins I would really like to see in the future for trac are a karma like system similar to the one on launchpad as well as better user tracking as well as a way to see who has read what similar to vbullitins who has read a thread.

Trac really is a great solution and I use for a ton of projects I work on.

Keep up the great work guys!

Edit Typos :(
