SourceXchange, an attempt to capitalize on the enthusiasm of the open-source programming movement, has shuttered its doors.
Published:
8 April 2001 y., Sunday
The SourceXchange effort, spawned by publishing company O'Reilly and Associates and Hewlett-Packard in 1999, linked open-source programmers with corporations that needed programming jobs done. SourceXchange took a cut of the proceeds.
Brian Behlendorf, a founder of the popular open-source Apache software project, helped to launch SourceXchange and build a company around it called CollabNet. But CollabNet has gradually moved into consulting to help established companies take advantage of the open-source movement and into selling its collaborative programming tool, SourceCast.
In a note sent to customers and posted to the Web site, Behlendorf said there simply wasn't enough business.
"While a unique idea, and one that we feel really adhered more closely to the open-source ideal than any other work-for-hire site ever did, it simply did not achieve the volume of business necessary to maintain the site and evolve the offering to meet the needs of sponsors and developers," Behlendorf said.
