joshorion writes "The Organization of Independent Software Vendors has just launched with the purpose of helping the community create and market their independent software. Experts contribute helpful articles, and members can make use of the forums. The site is sponsored by many notable companies, primarily CoffeeCup, but also CNet, Tucows, VanDyke, and Lunarpages."

  1. OISV by William+Robinson · · Score: 4, Interesting
    The logo of the OISV is a brand of a professional in the software industry and can be trusted wherever it is displayed.

    How are they going to achieve this? Will there be evaluation of companies?

    The mission statement looks kool, but does not explain WTF 'independent' means. Am I qualified if I am running a startup?

    End of the day,seems to be a good effort to bring quality software to us.
