GOS-P2: Exploring the vast and growing Google Open Source - Part 2
In this second of this series about the «Google Open Source » We will continue to explore the wide and growing catalog of open applications developed by the Technological Giant de «Google".
In order to continue expanding our knowledge about the open apps released by each of the Tech Giants from the group known as GAFAM. What, as many already know, is made up of the following North American companies: "Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft".
GAFAM Open Source: Technological Giants in favor of Open Source
For those interested in exploring our initial publication related to the topic, you can click on the following link, after finishing reading this publication:
"Today, both public and private organizations are progressively moving towards a greater integration of Free Software and Open Source to their business models, platforms, products and services. In other words, free and open technologies are increasingly an important part of the way of working in and out of them, for the benefit of their owners, clients or citizens."

Applications of the Google Open Source
badssl.com
It is a memorable site for testing clients against bad SSL settings. Since, it has a set of subdomains with several HTTPS configurations. Which can be used to test browsers and other TLS clients, to see how they behave when they encounter sites with various security problems on the web. Google has created it for Chrome development teams to test the behavior of the Browser in everything related to web security. see more at: Google Open Source, GitHub y Official Web.
Basel
It is Google's own compilation system, used to make fast and correct compilations. It has built-in support for building both client and server software, including client applications for the Android and iOS platforms. It also provides an extensible framework that you can use to develop your own compilation rules. Currently Google claims to use Bazel to build almost all its products, such as Google Search, Google Docs and GMail, among many others. see more at: Google Open Source, GitHub y Official link.
Blockly
It is an open source library used to add drag-and-drop block coding functionality to applications. In other words, it is a library that allows drag-and-drop block coding to be added to an application. It is primarily used for teaching computer science, but it can also offer users a way to write their own scripts or application settings. Blockly has libraries for Web (JavaScript), Android (Java), and iOS (Swift / Obj-C). see more at: Google Open Source, GitHub y Official link.
BoringSSL
It is a fork of OpenSSL used to implement cryptography and TLS in most of Google's products to meet your own needs in this area. Although BoringSSL is an open source project, it is not intended for general use the way OpenSSL is. That is, Google does not recommend that third parties depend on it. Note that doing so can be frustrating because there are no guarantees of API or ABI stability. BoringSSL is currently the SSL library for Chrome / Chromium, Android (but not part of the NDK), and other applications / programs within it. . see more at: Google Open Source, Repo y Official Web.
Bullet Physics SDK
It is a real-time collision detection and multiphysics simulation software for Virtual Reality (VR) environments, games, visual effects, robotics, machine learning, among others. In other words, the Bullet Physics SDK is a professional open source library for collision detection and rigid and soft body dynamics written in portable C ++. It is designed primarily for use in games, visual effects, and robotics simulation. The library is free for commercial use under the zlib license. Google uses it for game development, virtual reality, robotic simulation, and machine learning. see more at: Google Open Source, GitHub y Official Web.
Conclusion
We hope this "useful little post" on this second exploration of the «Google Open Source», offers an interesting and wide variety of open applications developed by the Technological Giant of «Google»; and is of great interest and utility, for the entire «Comunidad de Software Libre y Código Abierto» and of great contribution to the diffusion of the wonderful, gigantic and growing ecosystem of applications of «GNU/Linux».
