Taskit is able to track internal points to be used for compensation for team members. This system is great because of its ease of use, simple UI and its well-thought out design. It has really improved task, bug tracking, project management.
ICAH
Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health was founded in 1977 as the Illinois Caucus on Teenage Pregnancy. As the organization grew, so did its mission, and by 2000, the organization had collected an extensive range of accomplishments in the fields of child welfare, adolescent workforce development and welfare reform, in addition to its work on adolescent health. Today, ICAH has focused once again on what the board of directors, staff, members, and young leaders see as the organization’s primary mission: in partnership with youth, advocating sound policies and practices that promote a positive approach to adolescent sexual health and parenting. ICAH’s strategies to support this mission include development of young leaders, policy analysis and development, advocacy, and training of both youth and adults.
Civic Network

FishTrax
Sponsored by the Northeast Seafood Coalition, we are developing a comprehensive software solution to help fishermen better record and report their caught fish and to help the scientists at NOAA ensure overfishing becomes a problem of the past!

Open Distro
Fueled of out frustration with current distributions of Linux, Mike Buland and David Braden have worked hard on creating this custom distribution which includes its own package manager among other things.
Local Capital Summit
As banks fail and lending tightens, there is actually less money in circulation. This is not just an issue of consumer confidence; people can’t spend money that they don’t have. At the same time, we taxpayers are writing trillion dollar checks to huge corporations and irresponsible banks.
While massive corporate profits left our towns and fell into the hands of a few, small businesses have created 80% of the new jobs in the past 10 years. These businesses, which give our communities their unique character, are hit the hardest. We are seeing too many close their doors.
Heartland Storehouse
From their site: "At Heartland Storehouse we make food storage easy and affordable for your family. Our products consist of familiar, basic food staples such as wheat, rice, and beans that are high in nutritional value and have a long-term storage life.

Mile High Business Alliance
The Mission of the Mile High Business Alliance is to build better community through better business. We help people find and support local business, and are building an alliance of local businesses who are working together to build a stronger local economy - sharing best practices, doing business together, and helping each other compete against non-local business. We're not about 'business as usual,' but are local entrepreneurs and community members who are designing, influencing and building what's next.

Denver Open Media
Deproduction is a NonProfit Corporation specializing in production and progressive media training (the history of that organization --and its predecessor, denverevolution-- can be seen here).
In late 2005, Deproduction developed a proposal for re-inventing public access TV in Denver. The proposal hinged on a new approach to Public Access TV: a station almost entirely run by the community. In choosing a name for the new station, they decided against calling it "Deproduction" and instead opted for a new name with no history or pre-exisiting hierarchy: a new entity that could be owned by the community who would be running it.
build
Build is a super-flexible, upgradable and easier to use replacement for make. We use this many times a day and are really happy to have created it. This is freely available for download below on its project page and we welcome further development on this project.
Source Tree Commons
SourceTree Commons is the next generation platform for supporting open source software development, more than a code repository. They are building a community to support open source collaboration and here's just a bit of what makes us different:
* SourceTree is open source. They want geeks to do what they do best - build cool stuff. And they think the platform to support development should be open for improvement as well.
* The platform is distributed. This isn't about centralizing control of source code. Redundancy enhances reliability, and distributing the overhead and cost necessary to provide these tools makes it easier for everyone.
* They are a community. It takes a village to raise a project. There are vital roles for a diverse range of people to play in making software successful.
