SourceForge Gears Up For Community Choice Awards

,----[ Quote ]
| Categories run the gamut from technical (Best Tool or Utility for SysAdmins) 
| and entertaining (Best Project for Gamers) to "life-changing" (Most Likely to 
| Change the Way You Do Everything). Nominated projects are equally 
| wide-ranging and while there are a number of familiar names like KeePass 
| Password Safe and Audacity, quite a few lesser known projects are being given 
| the opportunity to shine. Avogadro, a cross platform, 3-dimensional molecular  
| editor, is up for Best Project for Academia and microblogging client Choqok 
| has been nominated for Best New Project.

SourceForge delivers 4 billionth open source download

,----[ Quote ]
| Since 1999, SourceForge has the 'go to place' for all open source downloads,
| but in the last couple of years, Google Code has put up a bit of challenge.
| Remember also for a while there was this constant thread in media about how
| SourceForge had 100,000 project, though most had been abandoned.
| SourceForge.net now has 230,000 projects and if downloads are an indication,
| they seem to be doing just fine.

How Do We Introduce FOSS and Linux to Those Who Resist It?

,----[ Quote ]
| At home, it’s more manageable, in a way. You have less users to deal with but
| they could be more stubborn than 10 other users combined. In any case, it’s
| easier to study the habits of your family and/or housemates compared to an
| entire organization. Studying them will take time and interaction with them
| too. But then you get to have a better grasp of what software they need, what
| tasks they need to accomplish etc. In an office, it gets trickier because
| each person has different needs and there’s a whole lot of them so you have
| to study them a lot.
