” \t\t\tNewsForge (also owned by OSTG) has word of Google’s newest product: an open-source project repository<\/a>. Joe ‘Zonker’ Brockmeier sat down for a talk with Greg Stein and Chris DiBona, who say that the product is very similar to sites like SourceForge but is not intended to compete with them. From the article: “Instead, Stein says that the goal is to see what Google can do with the Google infrastructure, to provide an alternative for open source projects. DiBona says that it’s a ‘direct result of Greg concentrating on what open source projects need. Most bugtrackers are informed by what corporations’ and large projects need, whereas Google’s offering<\/a> is just about what open source developers need. Stein says that Google’s hosting has a ‘brand new look’ at issue tracking that may be of interest to open source projects, and says ‘nobody else out there is doing anything close to it.'””<\/em><\/p>\n

Why can’t other large companies embrace open source as much as google has? The dev rate of opensource is so much faster than closed source its amazing… I mean Windows hasn’t released a new operating system in 4years yet this year alone there have been 2 new versions of Redhat Fedora with a 3rd due out in a couple months!<\/p>\n
