A defunct German software development platform and hosting service for open-source projects.
Named after the French Romantic composer Hector Berlioz (1803-1869), adapting his surname with an '-os' ending typical of Greek or technical names. The platform operated from 2000 to 2014.
BerliOS was one of the first major alternatives to SourceForge for hosting open-source projects, named after a composer known for innovative orchestration - perhaps reflecting the platform's aim to orchestrate collaborative software development. Its closure marked the end of an era in European open-source hosting.
