OpenLogic, a company that seeks to make it easier for customers to develop applications that employ open-source software, has completed a $4 million investment round.
In addition, the company announced that Doug Barre, formerly Borland Software's chief operating officer, is now chairman. Rob Balgley, formerly Jabber's chief executive, is also a board member. And Greg Orzech, formerly VA Software's senior vice president of sales, is now OpenLogic's vice president of sales.
OpenLogic sells BlueGlue, software that helps customers build applications using open-source software packages such as Eclipse, Apache, MySQL, PHP and Tomcat.
The company is one of several new entrants in the open-source arena. Another is SpikeSource, which hopes that customers will pay for its open-source software updating and management services. But the popularity of open-source software doesn't ensure success: Linuxcare failed in a bid to sell support for open-source software.
