News Linux Foundation to Take Over Linux.com Site
It will release a new beta version in a few months

Terms were not disclosed but SourceForge, the remains of the old VA Linux Systems, which hasn't been cutting it as a media company either, is known to need money. And the fact that it didn't own the Linux.com URL has always been a burr under the foundation's saddle. It apparently has visions of making it the central Linux forum. SourceForge will continue to sell the advertising on the site, which reportedly saw 21% growth in traffic last year. The Linux Foundation says it's working on a new beta version of the site that it will release in a few months and has just launched an "IdeaForge" to gather opinions and ideas from the Linux user community on the site's future direction. The Linux Foundation says the site will feature real Linux experts - users and developers. It will also showcase information for business users of Linux. The spin-off leaves SourceForge with SourceForge.net, Slashdot, ThinkGeek and freshmeat.net.
