Commercial Open Source Software

I joined Geeknet as the Senior Director of Business Development at SourceForge, and I am responsible to grow and extend our ecosystem. I am excited to bring in all my experience in the open source business and my understanding of open source communities to Sourceforge.

SourceForge played a fundamental role in the development of the open source world as we know it today, and we are working to make it more and more relevant to all its stakeholder groups, ranging from casual users to developers, enterprises and customer advertisers.

We are now testing new features to help our projects to grow, and as soon as they’ll be available to the general public we’ll let you know through our blog. We are actually scheduling one-to-one meetings aimed at better serving projects’ needs, so if you run a project and you want to know more about what we have to offer to you, drop me a line at rgaloppini@geek.net.

Packt has just announced the list of finalists for the 2011 edition of the open source awards. Over the last two years I have been invited to join judge panels (CMS and e-Commerce applications, now called “Open Source Business Applications”), while this year I will join the Open Source Mobile Toolkits and Libraries panel, that looks interesting and promising.

The Open Source Mobile Toolkits and Libraries category among finalists include:

• FoneMonkey
• jQuery Mobile
• Min3D
• PhoneGap
• Sencha Touch
