The last time I looked, Source Forge had over 100,000 projects and over 1 million people registered who help develop the projects. Many of these projects are freeware programs. Now that's a resource no one can afford to overlook. Open source means that anyone can download the program code and change it or add to it. This open environment for creating software means that a program or project can evolve faster with many people contributing to it. A good example of an open source program is the Mozilla Firefox browser.

Quote - SourceForge.net is the world's largest Open Source software development web site, providing free hosting to tens of thousands of projects. The mission of SourceForge.net is to enrich the Open Source community by providing a centralized place for Open Source developers to control and manage Open Source software development. To fulfill this mission goal, we offer a variety of services to projects we host, and to the Open Source community.
