IBM to Open Projects at SourceForge.net

Posted by Zonk on from the go-big-blue dept.

cfelde writes "On Friday, IBM said it is contributing some 30 open-source projects to SourceForge.net. IBM also said it is expanding its own developerWorks Web site with more resources including training in PHP and other popular technologies." This probably dovetails with IBM's new full on support of the PHP language.

  1. IBM's rhype also now open source by Xpilot · · Score: 4, Informative

    On a somewhat related note, IBM has released rhype, it's research hypervisor as open source under the GPL. This should spice up the free hypervisor community. First Xen, now IBM's rhype. Choice is so good :)

    I don't know all of them, but one of the projects that was moved was http://icu.sourceforge.net/

    IBM has been very involved with open source for many years, and now they are moving the hosting of many projects to other sites. One of them is to sourceforge. The donation was more of a move from DeveloperWorks to Sourceforge because of the increasing costs (bureaucracy) to maintain many projects on ibm.com.

    ICU (International Components for Unicode) has been on DeveloperWorks and AlphaWorks as open source since 1999.
