OW2con'25 Best Project Awards

June 18 - 18, 2025


 

OW2 announces three OW2con’25 Best Project Awards during its annual conference OW2con’25

 
Three OW2 projects are rewarded today for their remarkable contributions to the open source ecosystem and their outstanding results in Community building, Technology expertise or Market success story.

Paris, France, June 17, 2025 – OW2, the international community of open source software for information systems announces today the winners of OW2con'25 Best Project Awards. The awards recognize OW2 projects for their outstanding contributions to the open source ecosystem, in three categories : community, technology, and market performance.
The winners of the OW2con'25 Best Project Awards are:

  • Technology : The 2025 OW2 Best Project Technology Award goes to LDAP Tool Box Service Desk.
    LDAP Tool Box Service Desk is a web admin tool for LDAP directories, offering an open-source solution for standard OpenLDAP or Microsoft AD since version 0.6. It simplifies account management with a single-page interface, allowing users to unlock and reset passwords without privileged access. The project won the Technology Prize for  its innovative approach to LDAP administration. PHP modules in the ltb-common library ensured compatibility with both systems, and current users appreciate its ease of use and ongoing contributions. Future enhancements include adding account creation/deletion and group membership features.
  • Community : The 2025 OW2 Best Project Community Award goes to the Cryptpad project.
    CryptPad's community-driven approach and user innovation win the Community Prize. It offers secure, end-to-end encrypted collaboration across platforms. The software has grown globally, including the UN's use of its forms for Open Source Principles. A 2025 milestone includes new Document editors supporting DOCX/ODT/PPTX/ODP files. CryptPad supports both hosted and self-hosted solutions with client-side encryption ensuring user data remains private.
  • Market : The 2025 OW2 Best Project Market Award goes to Linphone.
    Linphone is a comprehensive and secure unified communication platform integrating audio, video, instant messaging, and conferencing into one interface, fully relying on standard protocols. It evolved from a "garage" project into a revenue-driven company over 20 years, transforming into an intuitive consumer platform with advanced features and infrastructure (e.g., Flexisip servers). Initially catering to technical users, it now diversifies its target audience—SMEs, integrators, local authorities, and MSPs—to offer multiple hosting solutions, enabling tailored features and competitive alternatives.
