Ask Slashdot: Spreading the Word About At-Risk Open Source Projects?

Posted by timothy on from the do-not-go-gentle-into-that-good-night dept.

An anonymous reader writes "There is a piece of software, released under the Modified BSD license, that risks becoming abandonware and, IMHO, is worth being saved. Where can I post an announcement to find people than can take care of it?" This seems like a problem that a lot of projects run into; is there a clearinghouse for open-source projects at risk?

    Try sending the project a DMCA Cease and Decist notice, and then post a story in slashdot about some patent troll bullying an open source project.

    Then watch as the streisand effect does its magic.
