Tim Perdue on GForge & Building SourceForge

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the walk-down-memory-lane dept.

Steve Mallett writes "I've just posted an interview I did with Tim Perdue, former co-'head honcho' responsible for developing SourceForge. You'll either love it or hate the interview, but it's on his new project GForge, a fork of the previously open source code running SF, while he shares some insight in what seems like a miracle that SourceForge was built at all." Obviously Slashdot's parent runs SourceForge, so insert whatever mental disclaimer and conspiracy theory you want here.

    Was that about the shortest honeymoon ever?
    CmdTaco should not be posting stories he should be mixing the milk & honey and making little commander tacos, or is that what cowboyneal is doing?

    Usually interviews involve questions being asked and someone responding to them.

    I really hoped this interview was going to die and disappear. I said a lot more than I intended. Steve can get a lot through flattery.

    May the ddos against osdir continue...

    I still think it's funny with things like this get left around. All I have to do is show that to folks and they think twice about buying VA's SF code! (:

    Quoth the article:

    OSDir.com: What has the debian-sf crew been able to contribute?

    Tim: They have replaced most of the strings on the site using the internationalization support that we built into the code, but never really used. So they've got complete translations in English, French, Spanish and Korean. And of course, a really slick and easy installation process.

    Does anyone else find this extremely funny? :)
