Slashdot and SourceForge Sold, Now Under New Management
- nefitty 11y agoHm, well they have someone in the comment thread answering questions. Seems like a promising first move, at least.
- CM30 11y agoHope they finally do something positive with SourceForge to try and get it competitive with GitHub (and other services), and remove the virus ladden crap from it in the process. But yeah, this seems at least a tad promising. The new buyers do at least care a bit about the community now.
- SturgeonsLaw 11y ago>“When I say trusted – I mean trusted,” he went on. “We disagree with some of the previous monetization strategies from an industry and business perspective, and have immediate plans to discontinue programs inconsistent with our being a trusted and reliable resource for the entire open source community. I think large and small project developers will quickly see that we are very serious about supporting their long term needs and that the industry will see we’re more interested in doing the right thing than making a few extra short term dollars.” That does indeed sound promising. There's no way SF could ever compete with GitHub while it continues to include bundled malware.
