Ask Slashdot: What's the Biggest Open Source Project of 2015?

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday December 16, 2015 @04:52AM from the that-time-of-year dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Several major tech and open source sites—including Opensource.com and Infoworld—have published lists of the top open source projects of the year. What's your pick for the biggest, best, or most important open source project of 2015? Are there any projects that made big leaps this year that aren't getting the recognition they deserve?

The Linux Kernel, Android, and Webkit are my top picks.
LLVM is also hugely important.

You misread the title. It was biggest not buggiest. And I say this as someone who has used KDE since its inception. It's a disgrace how unfinished the "stable" releases are.
