It took me a while to realize what this was about. They could have made that "Learn More" button more prominent. That said, I'm intrigued about what this will mean for SourceForge and friends.

I think that this is the more informative link: http://geek.net/press/sourceforge-inc-changes-its-name-to-ge...

The only 'Learn More' link that I saw looked like it was about a specific product, and not about 'what is geek.net?'

They did this before with OSDN, wonder if they'll have any more success this time around.

At first I thought this was a bad idea, given that Sourceforge is such a well-established and recognized brand. I see now it's not Sourceforge that is being renamed, but the parent company, Sourceforge, Inc.

Who would've thought that VA Linux Systems would get out of the server business to become an ad company?

This is probably a good idea. Thinkgeek has been floating the parent company for a very long time now, effectively funding all of the other efforts.

Wow I just found out my uni friend's dad is on sourceforge's Board of Directors. Would've never known!
