DENVER, CO - June 4, 2004 - Today, NewsGator Technologies announced
that the recently launched NewsGator Media Edition is featured in
Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004's "Online Spotlight," an online
guide created specifically for Media Center Edition PC customers that
offers a central location for them to find the latest third-party
services and software, such as music, movie trailers, news updates and
even Karaoke.
NewsGator provides a mechanism for Media Center PC users to easily
find NewsGator software and services online, without having to
separately download anything from the NewsGator web site. Both text
and multimedia content is supported, and information that has not
already been viewed on another device can be displayed by
synchronizing user subscriptions with NewsGator Online Services.
"We're excited to be included in Online Spotlight - this will
dramatically increase our visibility to the many thousands of Media
Center PC users," said Greg Reinacker, President & Founder of
NewsGator Technologies.
NewsGator Media Center Edition is included as part of NewsGator
Online Services. NewsGator Online Services includes three other
content reader editions, which allow users to read content they have
subscribed to from any web browser (with Web Edition), any email
client (with POP Edition), and from a mobile wireless device (with
Mobile Edition), which is a powerful feature for road warriors who use
mobile devices to access information while on the road. The service
also provides exclusive, subscriber-only content to its subscribers,
as well as the ability to search for content that matches a specific
keyword or URL, and return that content in a feed. NewsGator Online
Services pricing starts at $5.95/month per user.
"Media Center PCs allow consumers to have faster and more efficient
access to all of their favorite digital content when, where, and how
they want," said Brad Brooks, Director of Marketing at Microsoft Corp.
"With the NewsGator Media Center Edition, NewsGator Technologies is
delivering a complementary and innovative service that will let Media
Center Edition PC users easily access their customized choice of news
services."
More about NewsGator Media Center Edition
This is the latest step in the "any time, any place, any device"
strategy that distinguishes the NewsGator product line. NewsGator
Online Services allows users to read one set of content from any
device, without duplication. The combined power of NewsGator Media
Center Edition and Online Services offers customers a productive and
fun way to access their personalized subscriptions and information
from any device, whenever they need it.

The internet played a crucial role for many
Americans during the 2004 elections, according to a new
study from the Pew
Internet and American Life project .
the online political news consumer population grew dramatically from
18% of the U.S. population in 2000 to 29% in 2004. There was also a
striking increase in the number who cited the internet as one of their
primary sources of news about the presidential campaign: 11% of
registered voters said the internet was a primary source of political
news in 2000 and 18% said that in 2004.

6. Stats and Top Projects
Dear SourceForge.net developer,
There's never a dull moment managing SourceForge.net. It has been a
busy April. I would like to share with you two things that occurred
during the past two weeks.
Approximately 10 days ago we received a lot of coverage regarding a
DMCA
request we received from Apple Computer regarding a product called
Playfair, a project that removes encryption from Apple's AAC digital
music format. The issue was extensively written-about by our sister
Web site slashdot.org and other Apple Mac-related sites. The project
is
now offline. When the SF.NET team receives a DMCA request, we follow
our policy, which is outlined here: http://tinyurl.com/396x7
Typically, when we receive a DMCA request, the project at hand is
removed for a minimum of 10 days. The project admin, however, has the
ability to make a counter-claim, which can bring the project back
online
in short order. In the case of Playfair, the admin decided to not
make
a counter-claim, hence the project is still offline.
Perhaps the most interesting news, which generated the greatest press,
was the release of Open Source software on SourceForge.net by
Microsoft.
It is the first time Microsoft has ever released code in this manner.
The company released the code using a valid Open Source (OSI-approved)
license. We applaud Microsoft for releasing code to the Open Source
community. We hope this is just the beginning of its Open Source
software releases. You can view the press here:
http://tinyurl.com/2w5xz
The project is located here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/wix/
Thank you for using and supporting SourceForge.net.
If you have any questions or issues with SourceForge.net, please feel
free to email me directly at pat@sf.net.
Thank you. Happy coding.

Project of the month: BZFlag
---------------------------------------------------------
In the beginning there was Pong, Asteroids, and PacMan. One game that
really stood out, from a technical perspective, was Battlezone.
Launched
in the early 1980s, Battlezone was a 3D, vector-based game in which a
player drove a tank around a grid shooting other tanks and avoiding
incoming shells. Over time, the concept of the game was ported to
faster
hardware and many operating systems. The most popular derivative of
that
game concept, BZFlag, is SourceForge.net's April 2004 project of the
month.
BZFlag is a fantastic game. It's multiplayer, it has great graphics,
it
runs on all major platforms (Irix, Linux, BSD, Windows, Mac OS X,
etc.),
it has a fanatical following, and it is, of course, completely Open
Source. With over 812,000 copies of BZFlag downloaded from SF.net,
BZFlag is one popular game. Ranked in the top 50 projects on the site
(out of 82,000), the SF.net team is proud to make BZFlag project of
the
month.

Effective Promotion of your Open Source Project
---------------------------------------------------------
This Saturday, April 24, we'll have an IRC discussion with OSDN's
editor in chief Robin 'Roblimo' Miller about how to get the media
spotlight to shine on your project. Robin recently wrote a NewsForge
article titled "Getting good PR for your Open Source project":
http://trends.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=04/04/07/1549228
The (moderated) chat will be at 2000 UTC (4 p.m. EDT, 1 p.m. PDT, 1700
GMT) on IRC server events.oftc.net, #promo, Saturday, April 24, 2004.
If
you are online at that time, please drop by and say hello to Robin. It
will be a very interesting chat. (OSDN is the parent company of
SourceForge.net.)
Software Map Enhancements
---------------------------------------------------------
All SourceForge.net-hosted projects have the option of being listed in
the SourceForge.net Software Map. The Software Map is a tree-based
category system allowing both end users and developers to easily find
projects matching particular criteria. The Software Map is the most
direct route to find software to suit a specific purpose, such as a
new
email client or CRM software, from the more than 70,000 projects
hosted
on SourceForge.net.
We have recently made a number of significant enhancements to the
SourceForge.net Software Map, including better filtering based on
category selection and options to sort project listings. Most
importantly, we have added integration with the project search
facility,
allowing you to perform a more-targeted search from within the
Software
Map.
The SourceForge.net team is always working to improve the
SourceForge.net site and service offerings to better meet your needs.
A
list of our recent enhancements may be found at:
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=19242&group_id=1

shipping offer for the next two weeks on orders over $35. If you
haven't ordered your green laser pointer or caffeinated soap, this is
a
good time to do so. ;-)
SourceForge Enterprise at Work
---------------------------------------------------------
As a SourceForge.net user, you know how SourceForge.net helps you
collaborate with colleagues around the world on both personal and
professional Open Source software projects. Many companies,
especially
those with large distributed development teams, face many of the same
communication, collaboration, and coordination challenges as the Open
Source community. If you're in a large company, you may want to take a
look at SourceForge Enterprise Edition. VA Software, the parent
company
of SourceForge.net, has helped scores of companies break down the
barriers of distributed development with SourceForge Enterprise
Edition,
an enterprise-grade version of the SourceForge.net Web site. You can
learn more at http://www.vasoftware.com. If you are a CIO or CTO, set
up
an exploratory discussion with VA's executive technical management to
discuss your distributed development challenges and goals. A quick
email
to kbaker@vasoftware.com is all it takes to get started.

6. Stats and Top Projects
Dear SourceForge.net User,
Welcome to the September sitewide email. September is typically our
busiest month for new traffic on SF.net. Students are arriving at
college and getting on high speed connections. Open Source
developers and consumers of Open Source software are returning from
their summer vacations. If you are back from vacation, it's good to
have you back. If you are new to the site, welcome!
In this sitewide email, I want to update you on three notable
things that have occurred regarding our site and our organization
since July.
First, our parent company has changed its name. OSDN (Open Source
Development Network) is now OSTG (The Open Source Technology Group).
Why the name change? We realized that our network of sites (which
include SourceForge.net, Slashdot.org, Linux.com, Freshmeat,
NewsForge.net etc) caters not only to developers but also to IT
professionals. Our old name didn't reflect this diverse audience.
We have changed our name to better reflect who we are. OSTG
currently boasts over 16 million unique individuals (both
developers and IT professionals) and over 238 million pageviews
per month. http://www.ostg.com/
Second, we recently received our single largest donation to
SourceForge.net. The Omidyar Network, founded by Pierre Omidyar
(founder of EBay) and his wife Pam, gave $400,000 to SourceForge.net.
The money is being used to update the User Interface on SF.net and the
tools on the site (such as the File Release System, forums and
Tracker), as well as improved functionality and statistics on the
site. The SF.net team would like to greatly thank the Omidyar Network
for their very generous support. You can read the press release
here:
http://www.vasoftware.com/news/press.php/2004/1431.html
Omdiyar Network's website can be viewed here: http://www.omidyar.net/
Finally, I want to tell you about a very easy way to get an Apple iPod
mini. IBM is giving away 170 iPods to SF.net project admins. This is
not a drawing. If your project meets a certain criteria, and you are
willing to be a judge of your own project (which I know sounds a bit
odd), you receive an iPod. Normally I don't pitch offers in sitewide
emails, but this one is unique enough that I wanted to bring it to
your
attention. The only catch is the qualifications. Your project has
to
be a 'server-based', not written in a scripting language (or Java) and
not already ported to LinuxPPC. If your project passes the
criteria, I highly encourage you to visit the signup page. If
more than 170 projects signup who qualify, IBM will take the top
170 projects based on activity ranking.
Deadline is Friday Sept 24th, 2004.

August Project of the Month (POTM): Bochs
---------------------------------------------------------
Emulating a CPU in software is quite a trick. A programmer has to fool
the operating system, and the software running on top of the operating
system, into believing that it is on genuine hardware. This requires
meticulously emulating every single instruction and mode that the CPU
has to offer, which is immensely complex. SourceForge.net's August
2004
project of the month is Bochs, a x86 emulator (386, 486, Pentium and
Pentium Pro). Its emulation is robust enough to allow Linux, Windows
95, and Windows NT to run on top of it. The emulator runs under many
hardware platforms and operating systems, including Windows, Linux and
Mac OS X, so if you want to run Windows under OS X, you can do it!
Bochs, pronounced 'box', is one of the top 100 projects on
SourceForge.net boasting over a million downloads since its inception
on SF.net. The SF.net team is proud to make Bochs, August 2004,
project
of the month.

September Project of the Month (POTM): Azureus
---------------------------------------------------------
SourceForge.net's September 2004 project of the month is
Azureus, a powerful Java-based BitTorrent client. Downloading a
file, whether it's a large ISO (CD images), promotional MP3 from
your favorite local band, Open Source application, or music
video, is one of the most common uses of the Internet. Until recently,
download servers that served these files were centralized. If the
server was overloaded, offline, or 'Slashdotted', you were out of
luck.
BitTorrent, another SourceForge.net-hosted project, changed this by
providing a way to download files in a decentralized way by
leveraging,
in a transparent fashion, hundreds of end-user computers. Using this
method, the files are almost always available and the transfer speed
is
generally faster than a centralized solution, particularly with larger
files. This project is immensely popular on SF.net. Besides being in
our
top 5 most active projects (out of 80,000+) it enjoys on average
75,000
downloads a day (Wow!). Azureus runs under Windows, Linux, OS X,
among others and is licensed under the GPL. The SourceForge.net
team is proud to make Azureus Project of the Month for Sepember.

7. Stats and Top Projects
Dear SourceForge.net User,
This week SourceForge.net turns five years old. Happy Birthday to us!
The site started 60 months ago with a dream, a small team, and a lot
of
sweat equity. At that time, in late 1999, the Internet boom was
raging and VA Linux (now VA Software, our parent company) was just
weeks away of having the most successful IPO in history.
SF.net's mission back then was simple: To provide a vehicle for open
source developers to do what they do best, develop code. VA would
handle all the cost of bandwidth, servers, and tools necessary to
communicate and collaborate. The company at the time was in the Linux
hardware business, and we wanted to give back to the open source
community, which had been so generous to us. With only a handful of
registered developers we made within the company predictions on how
many open source developers were out on the Internet and how many
would
use the site. Our high water mark was 5,000 developers. Needless to
say we were a bit off. The viral nature of open source quickly became
apparent when we first opened the site to the public. Since 1999 our
biggest challenge has been trying to stay ahead of the growth curve.
Today we have close to 1,000,000 users and 100,000 projects. The
10Mbps
we used for bandwidth has now grown to 1.6Gbps (including mirrors).
Our
five servers have ballooned to more than 80. Our storage requirements
have gone from 10 gigabytes of data to more than 1 terabyte.
Over the years, we've seen a lot of changes -- the Internet bubble
popped, VA changed its name and business model, and geopolitically
things couldn't be more different.
Still, during this time, our mission has remained the same: to provide
a place for open source developers and their software to thrive. I
thank each of you for contributing in some way to
SourceForge.net. We couldn't have done it without you!
For year six, we have a lot of exciting things planned, including UI
updates, enhanced tools, new tools, and Subversion support (version
control). It will be an exciting year. We can't wait to show you.
Finally, I'd like to thank the dedicated team that manages the site on
a
day-to-day basis. Their hard work and dedication make SF.net what
it is today. I couldn't do it without you. They are:
Adi Alurkar
David Burley
Chris Conrad
Jacob Moorman
Ari Gordon-Schlosberg
Gareth Watts
Uriah Welcome
(Thanks guys.)
As always, if you have any questions or issues with the site, please
feel
free to email me. My email address is pat@sf.net.
Thank you. Happy coding.

Cloudscape Challenge
-------------------------------------------------------------
Today we are announcing a contest. We are giving out 10 40GB iPods and
50 (count 'em) SourceForge.net T-shirts. Cloudscape, by IBM, is a
powerful Java-based SQL database that sports a small footprint (a few
megabytes). Since it's Java based, it's cross-platform. IBM recently
open sourced the database under the name Derby. The contest is easy --
simply download the database and our special data files and answer the
question we email you (it's a simple SQL exercise). If you are able to
get the correct answer from the datafile you'll be placed in a
drawing.
What are the odds? Likely pretty good. It depends on how many people
enter the contest and have the right answer.
Note: You have to be a U.S. resident to enter (sorry, blame our legal
folks). To enter go here:

November Project of the Month (POTM): PearPC
-------------------------------------------------------------
Emulating a CPU in software is quite a trick. A programmer has to fool
the operating system and the software running on top of the operating
system into believing that it is on genuine hardware. This requires
meticulously emulating every single instruction and mode that the CPU
has to offer, which is immensely complex. SourceForge.net's November
2004 project of the month is PearPC, a PowerPC emulator. Its emulation
is robust enough to allow Mac OS X to run on top of it (although
slowly). The emulator runs under many hardware platforms and operating
systems, including Windows and Linux, so if you want to run OS X or
Linux PPC on an Intel platform, you can do it! PearPC is one of the
top 100 projects on SourceForge.net, boasting over a half a million
downloads since its inception on SF.net. The SF.net team is proud to
make PearPC the November 2004 project of the month.

New Download Mirrors
---------------------------------------------------------
SF.net serves approximately 1,000,000 open source downloads a
day to a worldwide audience. The combined bandwidth of these
downloads is a sustained rate of over one gigibit per second (Gbps).
SF.net couldn't provide this throughput without the support of our
download partners, who provide hardware and bandwidth to support
the site and the open source community.
Today, the SF.net team announces two new partners:
Internap: The Internet Performance Company
Based in Atlanta, Georgia (USA), Internap offers intelligent
route-control technology that brings reliability, performance and
security to the Internet.
Website: http://www.internap.com/
JAIST: Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology
Based in Shikawa, Japan, JAIST was founded in 1990 as the first
independent national university in Japan to carry out graduate
research
and education in science and technology.

6. Stats and Top Projects
Dear SourceForge.net,
The SF.NET team has been very busy during the past few months. While
I
don't typically like to pre-announce new features and upgrades to the
site,
I thought this might be a good opportunity to tell you what we are
working on behind the scenes:
- The stats system is back up-to-speed, and the site statistics, with
the exception of CVS statistics, are now up-to-date. In the past,
our stats system has had problems scaling with our exponential growth.
The good news is the stats system is being rewritten from scratch
and will be deployed in the next 6 weeks. This new system will
provide near real-time stats so that you will be able to see how
many downloads, pageviews, and CVS commits are occurring as they
happen.
- Developer CVS check-in/check-out is getting a major speed
increase in the next 5 weeks. Anonymous check-out has been performing
great and soon SSH check-ins/check-outs will have similar speeds.
With
this upgrade are also eliminating the 5 to 8 hour delay that currently
exists between developer check-in and anonymous check-outs.
Everything
will be in real-time. This means as soon as you make a code change,
your users can grab the latest code. This will mark the completion
of our long-term CVS infrastructure improvement project.
We have a lot of additional things improvements in the works, but I
wanted
to give you an update on CVS and stats since I know these services are
extremely important to many of you.
Thank you for using and supporting SourceForge.net.
If you have any questions or issues with SourceForge.net, please feel
free to email me directly at pat@sf.net.
Thank you. Happy coding.

June Project of the month: AWStats
-----------------------------------------------
Web site managers need to have a clear idea how much traffic their
site
receives on a daily basis. While there are many log file analyzers
available on the Internet (many at no cost), they typically don't
provide a good marriage of statistics analysis and graphical display
of
that data. AWStats, SourceForge.net's June 2004 Project of the month,
is
a multiplatform open source log analyzer that provides all the
statistics a webmaster needs, presented in a very professional,
dynamic
report. It takes only a quick glance at the project's online demo to
see
why so many Web professionals are downloading and deploying this
software. AWStats has been on SF.net since October 2000 and has had
400,000 downloads since its inception.

communication, including our Tracker system (for bug reporting and

SF.NET Services Update
--------------------------------------------
The SourceForge.net team has recognized past performance issues and
intermittent stability problems in our mailing list archival service.
A
significant effort to redesign and rewrite the mailing list archive
code's database design has recently been completed, tested, and
optimized and is now online.
Archive updates had been suspended during the time period of the
migration. The archive suspension was lifted last week, and all
archives
were brought up to a current state in the following 26-hour period.
This
rapid update of all lists was made possible by the improved
performance
of the archiver code and our extensive efforts to redesign the list
archival system. We have further improved the archival system so that
most future maintenance to the mailing list archive system can be
performed without downtime to the live site.
The SourceForge.net team is continuing to actively review the state of
the SourceForge.net site with an eye for improvements and has a number
of new projects in progress. A list of our most recently completed
site
and service improvements and enhancements may be found at
https://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=19242&group_id=1.
Your feedback is appreciated. If you have specific concerns related
to
the SourceForge.net site and services that you believe are not being
addressed, please feel free to contact the SourceForge.net Quality of
Service Manager at: moorman at sourceforge.net (Please note in your
message subject that your message is a follow-up to this sitewide
mailing.)
