    ACTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 13, 2002--OSDN today announced that SourceForge.net, the world's largest Open Source development web site, will run exclusively on IBM's DB2 database software for Linux -- including SourceForge.net's 460,000 registered users and the 45,000 Open Source software development projects hosted on the site.

    The DB2 implementation will help manage the explosive growth experienced by SourceForge.net since its inception -- the site registers approximately 600 new users and 70 new projects per day, and tracks approximately 3.2 million page views per day.

    "OSDN is thrilled to partner with IBM," said Richard French, senior vice president and general manager of OSDN. "DB2 is a leading force in the database market and is a perfect fit with SourceForge.net, which has been established as the industry standard in collaborative software development. SourceForge.net serves a very loyal community of IT professionals and developers, and we are confident that DB2 will provide the best technology to keep the site running smoothly and efficiently."

    Available to users beginning today, the SourceForge.net mailing list archives is the first portion of the site to run on DB2. This feature catalogs every email received by the site's 11,000 mailing lists, allowing site users to search through email archives as needed. SourceForge.net will be fully converted to DB2 by mid-January.

    IBM's WebSphere Application Server (WAS) will be made available on the SourceForge.net compile farm in late October.

    "IBM is excited that DB2 and WebSphere solutions have been chosen to help OSDN elevate the quality of service received by SourceForge.net users," said Karen Smith, vice president, Linux Strategy and Market Development, IBM. "We are pleased to be able to demonstrate the power, scalability and reliability of DB2 for Linux, by managing the data for the world's most widely used Open Source development site -- SourceForge.net."

    In a separate announcement today, VA Software announced a significant commercial agreement with IBM focused on the joint marketing and sales of the next generation of SourceForge(TM) Enterprise Edition.
