SourceForge.net Announces 2008 Community Choice Awards Winners

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA, Jul 28 (MARKET WIRE) --
SourceForge, Inc. (NASDAQ: LNUX), the leader in community-driven content
and media, announced the winners of its third annual Community Choice
Awards in Portland, OR, during an evening celebration held at the OSCON
2008 conference.

The awards recognize the open source community's most innovative projects
through an open nomination and voting process, culminated in the colorful,
off-beat party hosted by SourceForge at the Jupiter Hotel for all
community members, media and OSCON attendees.

Attendees to the celebration received gifts from ThinkGeek and the Linux
Foundation, and were provided with a unique opportunity to get a permanent
geek-related tattoo from Colorbomb Studio's artists, paid for by
SourceForge.

"It's important to take a step back and applaud everyone's hard work,"
said Ross Turk, SourceForge.net Community Manager. "I think that the
community at large agrees with this sentiment because interest in these
awards increases every year. The program was created to provide the
community with a voice; there's no doubt that the community has spoken
tonight."

As in previous years, the community-driven awards were free from any
editorial constraint, celebrating the community spirit at the core of the
open source software movement. And for the first time, all open source
projects were eligible for nomination, paving the way for wins by
OpenOffice.org and several other projects hosted outside of
SourceForge.net. In all, this year's voting saw a record number of
