Jaspersoft, creator of business intelligence software, has reported 'significant momentum behind its open source software community,' demonstrating 'strong growth and accelerated adoption of Jaspersoft products,' according to company officials.
The company's open source community recently surpassed 10 million software downloads, contributions to 350 open source projects and nearly 120,000 registered community members, company officials say: 'Jaspersoft's community includes members in more than 150 countries around the world, with top ten membership coming from Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, Thailand and the United States.'
Comparatively, in the last year, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and France ranked among the top five countries with the highest commercial adoption of Jaspersoft products.
Brian Gentile, CEO of Jaspersoft, notes that in total, Jaspersoft and its members have contributed nearly a quarter of a million lines of code to each of its core projects in JasperReports, iReport, JasperServer and JasperAnalysis.
The BI reporting tool in JasperReports and iReport, along with the server-based projects in JasperServer/JasperAnalysis are freely downloadable open source projects, licensed under the terms of the LGPL or GPL.
Ohloh.net estimates Jaspersoft and its members have contributed nearly nine million dollars in full-time equivalent engineering investment to these projects.
