| |
| 0. INTRO |
| |
| Hello SourceForge.net Users, |
| |
| This week we've made a big announcement. As you likely know, any |
| large dynamic website is powered by a database that funnels data to |
| the web servers serving data which ultimately gets sent to you. |
| These databases manage everything from user authentication, session |
| management, site searching, etc. SourceForge.net is a database- |
| dependent website. |
| |
| Today we have announced that we are moving SourceForge.net to DB2, |
| a powerful relational database by IBM. We are doing this because |
| the site continues to grow at a rapid rate, with 700 new users and |
| 70 new projects a day, and we need a database that can handle this |
| growth. We feel that DB2 can do this for us, and IBM is giving us |
| the resources to make this transition successful. You can read the |
| press release here: |
| |
| http://www.vasoftware.com/news/press.php/2002/1070.html |
| |
| How will this effect you? In the first phase, you won't see much |
| difference other then the site will continue to grow and the |
| SourceForge.net team will be able to handle the growth. In later |
| phases you will see new features on the site that take advantage of |
| the databases advanced capabilities. |
| |
| Today our mail archives have been converted over. The rest of the |
| site will make the migration to DB2 in the coming months. |
| |
| If you have questions about this or any other aspect of the site, |
| please feel free to email me, pat@sourceforge.net. I always |
| appreciate the feedback. |
| |
| Thank you for your continued support of SourceForge.net and the |
| Open Source Community. |
| |
| Pat- |
| |
| Patrick McGovern |
| Director, SourceForge.net |
| |
| |
| |
| 1. INCREASED DOWNLOAD CAPACITY |
| |
| SourceForge.net continues to grow, and it's appetite for bandwidth |
| is never-ending. Every day SF.NET serves over 300,000 files to |
| ensure that developers and end-users within the Open Source |
| community can always obtain the software released by hosted |
| projects, SourceForge.net maintains a network of high-capacity |
| download servers. These servers are located throughout the world, |
| as to provide better download times regardless of which network |
| provider you are using, and regardless of your geographic location. |
| |
| Three new download servers have recently been added to our network, |
| further strengthening our file serving capabilities. These latest |
| additions include servers hosted by: |
| |
| Time Warner Telecom (Wisconsin,USA); |
| http://www.twtelecom.com/ |
| |
| University of Minnesota (Minnesota, USA) |
| http://www.umn.edu/ |
| |
| CESNET (Czech Republic) |
| http://www.cesnet.cz/ |
| |
| We thank these sponsors for their commitment to SourceForge.net and |
| the needs of the Open Source community. |
| |
| On a related note, we are looking for a mirror in Japan. If you are |
| an ISP or University in Japan and are willing to spare 20Mbps for a |
| SourceForge.net mirror (we'll supply the hardware), please let us |
| know at bandwidth@sourceforge.net |
| |
| |
| |
| 2. AUDIO OF KERNEL SUMMIT AVAILABLE |

| 3. CONTRIBUTE TO SOURCEFORGE.NET! BE A FOUNDRY GUIDE! |
| |
| Want to contribute to SourceForge.net, but you don't know how to |
| code? Be a foundry guide! Foundry guides get to hype the cool |
| projects that they think are worth downloading and testing. |
| A guide finds all the stuff on the web about their subject of |
| choice, and gives it prominent placement. How do you become a |
| foundry guide? Go to http://foundries.sourceforge.net/; find a |
| topic that interests you; and send email to |
| foundries@sourceforge.net stating your desired topic and why you |
| are qualified to be a foundry guide. |

| EMAIL LIST REMOVAL: |
| |
| When the SF.NET team sends out a site-wide email, we sometimes see |
| replies that look like this: "Hey!! I didn't subscribe to this list!!! |
| You spammer. I hate you! I hate your dog! (insert other colorful |
| phrases here)". The truth is, when you registered on SourceForge.net |
| there was a check box that said "Receive Site-wide updates, low |
| volume". You left it checked when you submitted the registration form, |
| hence you are receiving this email. We send these updates every 4 to 6 |
| weeks, so it truly is low volume. However if you want off, this is not |
| a problem. Simply click on the link below. |
