It was a fantastic year, with some great articles published on the site. I have really enjoyed being a part of it, and am excited about what is happening in the open source world. The growth in readership is very encouraging, thanks to all those people who work so hard behind the scenes to keep everything running so smoothly too!

Great write up on some of the big pieces of news this year, it has been an interesting year and I think 2015 has some amazing changes in store for us all too! I finally got my piece on open science on Opensource.com in the other day too, so hopefully that will add the open science angle to your already great write up.
