Lots of great projects, one I used recently and a favourite was this:

This has also been my opinion for the accounting industry. Just like c compilers before gcc were proprietary and poor performing the accounting software that exists has many limitations. That means there is a huge opportunity for an open source system to blow them out of the water.
Ive been building one myself but i know there are many more coming for this industry :)

I relate to this. Is not just a lot of vendors, is that the kind of software stack that is optimal for MOST enterprises/companies get out of fashion in the dev community and is replaced with a lot of moving gears. This is how many devs think JS/html are good for UIs or NoSql + micro-services are ok.
What is this stack? A single, strong, RDBMS and a lang/environment like FoxPro/dBase and equivalents. For reasons, this stack was killed (intentionally?) by their own owners and replaced by a lot of moving parts.
That is why for deploy something you need dozen of things!

I think the time is ripped for a return to this kind of stack. I'm betting a little on it at http://tablam.org, if wanna check a small part of the puzzle.
