Here's what's going on in this November Edition:

* SourceForge Collaborates with Spoon to Promote Projects
* Updates to SF.net and SF.net Beta
* We are Proud Sponsors of FOSDEM
* We are Hiring!
* Gutenprint is POTM
* Welcome Mark Ramm, our New Product Manager
* Site Stats and Top 25 Projects

SourceForge Collaborates with Spoon to Promote Projects
---------------------------------------------------
Promoting the open source projects on SourceForge is very important to
us, which is why we are working with Spoon (http://spoon.net).
Through Spoon, Windows users can demo software apps without installing
them. This is great for users and helps bring exposure to our open
source projects. Check here for a listing:
http://sourceforge.net/directory/spoon


More Exciting Updates to SF.net Beta
------------------------------------
* Ticket interface has been redesigned & we added flexible
support for tracking tickets against project milestones.

* Project data from multiple projects can now live in a single MongoDB
database (which can be sharded using mongo's autosharding), or large
projects with special needs can have their own database server.

* All the commits in the svn, git and mercurial repositories have been
indexed and metadata stored in MongoDB. This improved page performance
on many SCM pages by as much as 50x.


But we haven't been ignoring the user experience for downloads on
existing SF.net either:

* There have been many peformance enhancements to the beta stats system,
bringing us closer to entire system replacement

* We've done more more work on the file manager:
https://sourceforge.net/blog/grown-up-file-manager/ and doing the
scalability testing work needed to make sure that the new file manager
becomes the default soon.


We are Sponsoring FOSDEM
----------------------------
We are so excited to be a sponsor for FOSDEM this year
