Creating a project on SourceForge [Tue, 02 Feb 2010 16:59:32 +0000] In the early stages of an open source software project, there is much to do in order to lay strong foundations for the project.

SourceForge is one of the best-known hosting sites for free and open source software development projects and Sander van der Waal helps us get started with creating a project on SourceForge.
Alfresco moves to LGPL [Tue, 02 Feb 2010 14:05:32 +0000] Alfresco has taken a step towards more permissive licensing by announcing that its repository will move to the LGPL (Lesser General Public License).
