CollabNet buys SourceForge Enterprise Edition Business

...and gains an extra intra-word capital letter :)

This is quite interesting, especially from my point of view as my team was about to shift two big projects from collabnet cvs to sourceforge subversion - might need to wait and see what happens here.

The 'enterprise' source/project tracking business is surprisingly big (especially given how easy it is to run your own cvs server and how little added value the above companies add to that).

What's especially interesting though, is that the above press release makes a lot of noise about:

growing our core online media assets, comprised of SourceForge.net, Slashdot.org, ITManagersJournal.com, NewsForge.com, Linux.com, freshmeat.net and ThinkGeek.com. Together, these sites attract over 32 million unique visitors a month.

Hopefully they will still make fast subversion servers...
