Depends on how you define "shipped". :-) We don't consider any of our projects "shipping" in the sense of being "GA" (or even "alpha") yet, but we've delivered a lot of code. And we have some stuff that's shaping up to a point where we can start showing it to potential customers and work on trying to find an alpha customer from the "earlyvangelist" types. https://github.com/fogbeam/Quoddy https://github.com/fogbeam/Neddick

We[1] are working on some F/OSS knowledge management / collaboration tools, heavily based around social-networking, machine learning, collective intelligence and semantic web technologies. One of our projects, Quoddy[2], is sort of (to oversimplify) like a "Facebook for the Enterprise," but with a focus on actually integrating into value creating workflows, and supporting collaboration in new ways, as opposed to simply being another complement to (or replacement for) email. Another of our projects, Neddick[3] is a lot like Reddit, and I guess you could call it a "Reddit for the Enterprise," but - again - with more of a focus on features that will make it a valuable productivity tool in an organization. Heceta[4] is our enterprise search engine, which takes advantage of metadata from both Neddick and Quoddy to enhance search results. Hat

teras[5] is probably not going to remain a standalone project, but right now it's the "bridge" that allows Quoddy users to subscribe to business events from a SOA/ESB backend and surface those events in their news feed. Of the projects, Quoddy and Neddick are the most developed, Hatteras works just well enough to let us demo the business event subscription stuff in Quoddy, and Heceta mostly exists in my head and in some drawings. But we're making great progress, and we should have an alpha version of Quoddy that's developed enough to start trying to sell to "earlyvangelist" types fairly soon. There's also a good chance that we will work on "productized" versions of some other existing F/OSS projects, especially some ASF stuff. Nothing is written in stone, but you may one day see "Fogbeam Office, powered by Apache OpenOffice" or "Fogbeam BigData Server, powered by Apache Hadoop" or something along those lines. Basically, the goal is to be the next Red Hat, but with a focus on a slightly different part of the stack. Not that there might not be some overlap with them at some point, but time will tell.

I'm not sure Diaspora has any enterprise specific leanings, although - to be fair - I haven't spent as much time studying Diaspora as I probably should have. OTOH, there is another Open Source (ALv2) "enterprise social networking" project out there, and we're always happy to have other folks get involved. https://github.com/Fogbeam/Quoddy So far we support features like: A "facebook wall" like event stream for various event types, including status updates, calendar events (via iCal), business events (via our business event subscription engine), and external activities (via the activitystrea.ms protocol) Friending / Following users User Lists User Groups (well, this is still being worked on) "User Streams" (sort of like Circles in G+, but more flexible) User profiles (this still needs a fair amount of love) Status Updates (like "post to yo

ur wall") ICal Subscriptions Business Event Subscriptions (for SOA integration) And we have a pile of other features planned or in progress. See: http://code.google.com/p/quoddy/wiki/Roadmap Disclaimer: I freely admit that we intend to make money from this initiative eventually, but the code is (and always will be) under a true OSS license (it's ALv2 now and probably always will be) and we don't ask for copyright assignment or anything. Hack on the project with us and hopefully we can hire you full-time when we (land a couple of paying customers | raise a round of funding | win the lottery).
