Forum OpenACS Q&A: Who is Using OpenACS?

Posted by Alfred Essa on 12/26/05 05:17 PM

If you are using OpenACS in a production environment, I would be greatly indebted if you could post one or two lines describing your instance (e.g. linux distro, openacs/.lrn version, # of users). Thank you in advance.

One of the challenges for obtaining external funding and support for OpenACS is that we don't have accurate who is using OpenACS.

Hi,

]project-open[ had a total of 4500 installations from ~1200 different organizations (IP addresses) in the last 12 month. We believe that ~100 companies are using ]project-open[ as a production system, according to repeating hits to our web site. However, we don't know most of these 100 companies.

Most of these ~100 systems look like this:

OpenACS 5.1.5, ]project-open[ 3.0.0.7 PostgreSQL 7.4.3 MS-Windows & CygWin 5-500 Users

Here are only a few customers that gave us explicit permission to publish their names (in no particular order):

http://www.dixon.es/ OACS 5.1.5, ]project-translation[ 3.0 PostgreSQL 7.4.8 SuSE Linux

http://www.sls-international.com/ OACS 5.1.5, ]projec-translation[ 3.1 PostgreSQL 7.4.8 SuSE Linux

http://www.opus5.net/ OACS 5.1.5, ]project-consulting[ 3.1 PostgreSQL 7.4.8 SuSE Linux

http://www.leinhaeuser.de/ OACS 5.1.5, ]project-translation[ 3.1 PostgreSQL 8.0.x SuSE Linux

http://www.scriptservices.ca/ OACS 5.1.5, ]project-consulting[ 3.1 PostgreSQL 7.4.3 MS-Windows

And this is ourselves:

http://projop.dnsalias.com/ OACS 5.1.5, ]project-consulting[ 3.1 PostgreSQL 7.4.8 SuSE Linux

Btw., what happened to text formatting in the forum? I had to set this text as <pre> in order to get _some_ type of formatting...

Bests, Frank
