Some like reading Slashdot to get their fill of news for the day, others like CNN, but whenever I'm bored I turn to freshmeat.net. Sure, I don't get my fill of politics but it sure gives me enough food for thought. It was a great resource when I was looking for ideas or new projects to try out. The site lists recent updates to open source projects and provides all the quick links to try it, download it, see screenshots, etc. I see there are even some geospatial apps listed as well. The thing I like about its front page is that all types of software are mixed together.. file system tools, along with graphic editing apps and Linux kernels, etc.

If you haven't seen it before and you love open source software, I recommend checking out. You know it must be a good open source site because of all the proprietary software ads that are run on it. Hopefully your corporate firewall let's you get to a site with this name ;-)
