Of course the Andover.net site is still there, but the OSDN site has all the same departments, and lots more besides. Through OSDN, VA Linux supports open source in many ways. Freshmeat.net and SourceForge.net are just a couple of the many examples. OSDN has an opportunity to support open source in other ways as well. The recently announced Open Source Database Summit provides a different type of forum for developers.
Corporations make alliances to better support open source.
This alliance between OSDN and Jabber is a good example. Sponsors include Intel, Avnet, Lineo and, according to this announcement , MontaVista. DevelopOnline recently announced support for Linux developers wishing to work on Compaq iPaq and StrongArm based handheld devices. Smaller companies may not have the resources of VA Linux or Intel, but ID-PRO has found another way to help. The Danish Parliament supports open source, showing us that governments can also supply support.
