Piwik is a full-featured open source web analytics tool

Piwik is a PHP MySQL software program that you download and install on your own webserver. At the end of the five minute installation process you will be given a JavaScript tag. Simply copy and paste this tag on websites you wish to track (or use an existing plugin to do it automatically for you) and access your analytics reports in real time.

Web analytics started for me with open source ('analog', anyone?) so it's nice to see that the open source solutions are starting to keep pace with commercial web services.

PrestaShop is a great open-source online store

I played with this a bit over the weekend and was impressed. An easy install, a good community, sensible and straightforward customization, internationalized. I'd recommend it as a first point of investigation if you have cause to set up an online store.

Fritzing is an open-source tool for electronic prototyping and PCB layout

Fritzing is an open-source initiative to support designers, artists, researchers and hobbyists to work creatively with interactive electronics. We are creating a software and website in the spirit of Processing and Arduino, developing a tool that allows users to document their prototypes, share them with others, teach electronics in a classroom, and to create a pcb layout for professional manufacturing.

This is very cool. I wonder if there's a place that Arduino circuits and the like can be socially shared, using Fritzing layouts.
