Well, they seem like they get their target audience more than Dice did. If I were them I'd start trying to emulate and improve upon github. Seems like right now would be the time to strike.
- justinclift 11y agoYeah. If they get involved with (say) the GitLab ecosystem, that could both reduce GitHub growth + attract more talent/projects to SourceForge. Both of which they'd be wanting to do.
- sytse 11y agoAnyone is welcome to use GitLab, it would be awesome to see SourceForge switch to it.
- astrodust 11y agoA partnership with a company like GitHub, Gitlab, anyone would help considerably.
- loganabbott 11y agoYou're right and we will explore these
- rblatz 11y agoI do think that right now github has multiple issues swirling around it, a lot of people and open source projects are looking for alternatives. Sourceforge used to be the place for open source software, the sooner you can offer a compelling alternative to github the more likely you are to win back a lot of dissatisfied github users.
- astrodust 11y agoAs much as GitHub has done to antagonize people by being non-responsive on some issues, it has never gone as far as SourceForge has historically. There's a decade of utter indifference there combined with malicious sabotage of popular projects several times over. Going from the frying pan to the fire is hardly the best plan, especially with offerings like Gitlab, Gitorious and Bitbucket readily available.
