Ask HN: What are the most important OSS projects of all time?
Hi HN,<p>I was talking with some of my co-workers about how important OSS has been in advancing technology. I argued that without OSS, technology wouldnt be close to where it is today. Some of the projects I listed as being the most important were the following:<p>* Programming Languages - Php, Python, Ruby, etc. 
* Linux - the OS basis for nearly everything
* Android - powers a large percentage of the worlds smart phones
* Wordpress, Drupal, blogging platforms - Empowering peoples voice<p>What else am I missing? Any other threads I can read about this?
