Ohloh the Beautiful

For our fourth and final patriotically-inspired open source anthem to celebrate the Fourth of July, we proudly present “Ohloh the Beautiful.”

Note: Ohloh is the largest free public directory of OSS projects and contributors, and was acquired by Black Duck in 2010.

(To the tune of “America the Beautiful”)
