Greetings!
SourceForge is growing and has an immediate need for a Support Technician in our San Francisco or Denver office. Come and help us make SourceForge an even better place to work!
This month we are honoring two projects, eXo, by a public vote, and Freeplane, our Staff Pick.
Coincidently, the folks at eXo recently posted a guest blog post to our website: "A Quick Guide to Driving a Project to Success with SourceForge" because they found that SourceForge is a great place to distribute their software. We are pleased to share eXo's experience with the SourceForge community.
Projects of the Month for July - Community Choice and Staff Pick
The Community Choice Project of the Month (POTM) for July is eXo, a highly customizable, social-collaboration enterprise platform with features such as wikis, forums, documents, Q&A, calendars, and content management built around a social layer composed of activity streams, rich profiles, and social networking. Congratulations to the eXo project on being voted as the July 2014 Community Choice POTM!
Freeplane, which was also picked as June's Community Choice POTM, is so cool that we selected it as the Staff Pick POTM for July. Freeplane is an application that supports mind mapping and analyzing information contained in mind maps.
