Google is preparing a new service for the open source community

Although details are unknown, it seems to be definitely only that "it is a new service for the open source community" anyway. More details will be touched on "O'Reilly Open Source Convention" to be held on 27th local time.

See below for the source of this information is Doko, what kind of service is expected to be.

Once in the above blog seems to gradually post information by dispensing. The latest information seems to be spoken at the following events.

O'Reilly Open Source Convention - July, 24-28, 2006 - Portland, OR

What kind of person is "Greg Stein" to do this lecture is such a person. There is also a photograph of a face.

Greg Stein - Chairman of the Apache Software Foundation

It is famous for Apache, Subversion, WebDAV, Python and others. So is that Google's new service is something related to them? It is the blog of ZDNet.com that I anticipate.

In a simple way, would it be something like "SourceForge"? about it.
