“Collab.Net announced today that it has finished its beta-test
phase and gone into production with its first service,
sourceXchange, a marketplace where open-source developers match
their expertise to committed buyers with well-defined, financially
backed open-source projects.”
“With sourceXchange, software companies now have a
professionally managed site where they can tap into the open-source
community’s talent and expertise. Hewlett-Packard (HP),
SourceXchange’s founding sponsor and beta-test partner, initially
placed a set of Requests for Proposal (RFPs) into the sourceXchange
database. Four of those RFPs have been picked up as projects, and
one has already been completed.”
