I have joined SourceForge as its Senior Director of Business Development

sourceforgeI 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.
