There are a lot of opensources build systems, and most of them are multiplatform, multilanguage, cross-everything.
I'm not interested on which one is the best (which would be offtopic by the way), but I'd like to know which ones are used most.
So, do we have any kind of statistic about their actual usage? Could you provide any link?

As there is no tracking process, I doubt that this kind of information is available. You could check the number of artifacts in maven central for example, but it won't tell that much about actual usage and may be viewed rather as a trend. Some build tool developers list some of the most reknowned users on their sites, most don't

AdmingeneratorGeneratorBundle vs. SonataAdminBundle
I am starting a new Symfonfy2.2 Project and I need a Admin Backend. I used the old AdminGenerator in Symonfy1.4, and was quite happy with it. Everything worked more or less out of the box. If you check KNPBundles for Admin Backends, then you will most likely find two Admin Backends, that have enough score, to be relevant in a buisiness critical application.
The Question is,
which one would you prefer and why? Especially when it comes to things like:
customizability
effort to install and maintain
number of bugs or errors
long term development
The only thing I can say is that IMHO the AdmingeneratorGeneratorBundle generate cached code that is specific to the entity you're CRUD'ing, while SonataAdminBundle does all at runtime.
Sonata has already been reused in other extra libraries like smyfony-CMF.

I googled a lot but could not get a suitable tool.
I have a .NET application. To make the reporting feature much better, I am trying to find a third party tool for reporting as well as capable to generate the reports as pdf, jpg etc.
The main thing is to design the reports by the end-user as per their needs. I checked Cognos, I found that it gives the output as grid like style but I need in a customized manner too.
I got the below third party tools.
Fast Reports
Jreport
Cognos
Combit
I need a tool, that is very easy from end-user's prospect.
Any suggestion will be helpful.
If you want end users to design their own reports on demand, have you tried the new Power View (SQL Serves 2012)?

I want to track multiple vehicles on an open source map. I doesn't matter if it is in Google Maps or something else. What I want to do is like this project:
http://mbus.pts.umich.edu/index.php
I want to see in real-time how the cars change their positon. Therefor I get the GPS from the cars. Is this possible without a Google Maps Licence? Also with several cars? And are there any other examples showing how to manage this?
It would be great if someone could help me! I just cannot find any other examples or tutorials.

Are there any PHP/JS based tools that allow me to intitiate a chat invitation to a live visitor on a site, like they do on Bank sites and Salesforce?
EDIT: LiveZilla could work, but I'm a Mac user, so I'd like to not have to run it via a VM. Is there any purely web based or mac-based solution?

I believe this would do what you want.

I recently applied to several full time positions among some of the tech giants, and this was among some of the feedback I received.
I know what good coding practice generally entails, but am not so sure on largescale software design that mixes not only creativity but also a sharp technical focus.
What do you guys recommend?
Code Complete is always a winner.
