At Aarohan Technologies we truly believe in the strengths, flexibility and social benefits which Open Source offers us. We use Open Source daily for our work and personal needs, and do our best to contribute back to the Open Source community.

How we use Open Source at Work

 
Fedora Project

All our machines run on Fedora. (We use Microsoft Windows XP for testing in IE browser when required and gaming! And yes, we are aware of Wine)
The LAMP Stack

Most of our development uses the LAMP stack. Thats Linux, Apache, MySQL and Perl. We use a customized version of the sexy CGI::Application framework for all our web application development.
 
 
Trac

We use Trac heavily for our project mangement and issue tracking requirements as well as an Intranet Wiki.
Karm - Time Tracker Tool

Karm is a great tool for tracking your time spent on various projects. Since we usually undertake contracts based on hourly rates, we find this tool indispensable.
 
 
Subversion - version control system

All our projects use Subversion for version control.
