Headquartered in Colorado, SourceBeat is the result of people looking at a better way to disseminate relevant information on leading open source projects in an on-demand delivery mechanism
With technologies such as Eclipse, Spring, Tapestry, Plone, Hibernate and a host of others, SourceBeat focuses on technologies that are ready for prime-time and are seeing significant adoption in Global 2000 organizations as well as the small-medium enterprise.
SourceBeat believes in the open source movement, and thus provides a portion of the proceeds to various non-profit organizations such as Apache Software Foundation, Codehaus and others. It is groups like this that provide the open source momentum today and in the future.
