Top 10 and editor's picks: May review

May was an action-packed month, with 105 articles published, including 31 OSCON interviews, articles, and reports; an open source and hardware series; and a DrupalCon series.

We welcomed 21 new authors, and 64% of our content was contributed by members of the open source community. Our community moderators contributed 33 articles (31% of our total content).

From the Open Organization community in May, we were happy to announce the availability of Catalyst-In-Chief a new new companion volume from Jim Whitehurst.

At OSCON in Austin, I was excited to join fellow Red Hatter Máirín Duffy and two other Opensource.com contributors—VM Brasseur and Sarah Sharp—on stage to receive O'Reilly Open Source awards.
