InfoWorld is preparing for its annual Bossie awards, a list of the best open source software choices for business. The Bossie awards usually include some surprises, as you'll find among last year's winners. (Are you a Splunk or Ophcrack user?) InfoWorld plans to name this year's Bossie winners on August 31st, but in advance of that, the publication has compiled its list of the 36 most useful and important free open source projects in history. Some of the hall of famers are obvious, such as Ubuntu, but not all of them are.
