OpenLogic, a provider of open source packages, kicked off the data-gathering second phase of a global project aiming to collect and share quantitative data on the use of open source software. The company on Wednesday announced an initial list of 10 survey sponsors and launched a census designed to survey the land of open source. Companies and individuals are now able to anonymously submit data on their use of open source though The Open Source Census Web site. Participants in The Open Source Census will also gain access to reports that benchmark their open source usage.
