Abstract: In recent years the increasing of open source solutions extended the business opportunities for the IT companies but at the same time created problems for the choice and evaluation processes. For these reasons the need of approaches and tools to address this issue has become capital. We present FAME (Filter, Analyze, Measure and Evaluate), an iterative approach for Open Source software assessment, and FAMEtool, a support tool for this methodology. In this paper we analyze the most interesting and important assessment methodologies and the FAME approach has been derived by these, more heavyweight, proven approaches developed in a University research and consulting company environment, to match the needs of small organizations. The proposed approach has been used by FlossLab, the first spin off of University of Cagliari, to select the best solutions. The FAME tool, developed to make easier the whole process, supports the users in this choice by an interactive approac!
