38Hello SourceForge.net Users,
39
40This week we've made a big announcement.  As you likely know, any
41large dynamic website is powered by a database that funnels data to
42the web servers serving data which ultimately gets sent to you.
43These databases manage everything from user authentication, session
44management, site searching, etc.  SourceForge.net is a database-
45dependent website.
46
47Today we have announced that we are moving SourceForge.net to DB2,
48a powerful relational database by IBM.  We are doing this because
49the site continues to grow at a rapid rate, with 700 new users and
5070 new projects a day, and we need a database that can handle this
51growth.  We feel that DB2 can do this for us, and IBM is giving us
52the resources to make this transition successful.  You can read the
53press release here:
54
55http://www.vasoftware.com/news/press.php/2002/1070.html
56
57How will this effect you?  In the first phase, you won't see much
58difference other then the site will continue to grow and the
59SourceForge.net team will be able to handle the growth.  In later
60phases you will see new features on the site that take advantage of
61the databases advanced capabilities.
62
63Today our mail archives have been converted over.  The rest of the
64site will make the migration to DB2 in the coming months.
65
66If you have questions about this or any other aspect of the site,
67please feel free to email me, pat@sourceforge.net.  I always
68appreciate the feedback.
69
70Thank you for your continued support of SourceForge.net and the
71Open Source Community.

801. INCREASED DOWNLOAD CAPACITY
81
82SourceForge.net continues to grow, and it's appetite for bandwidth
83is never-ending.  Every day SF.NET serves over 300,000 files to
84ensure that developers and end-users within the Open Source
85community can always obtain the software released by hosted
86projects, SourceForge.net maintains a network of high-capacity
87download servers.  These servers are located throughout the world,
88as to provide better download times regardless of which network
89provider you are using, and regardless of your geographic location.
90
91Three new download servers have recently been added to our network,
92further strengthening our file serving capabilities.  These latest
93additions include servers hosted by:
94
95Time Warner Telecom (Wisconsin,USA);
96http://www.twtelecom.com/
97
98University of Minnesota (Minnesota, USA)
99http://www.umn.edu/
100
101CESNET (Czech Republic)

103
104We thank these sponsors for their commitment to SourceForge.net and
105the needs of the Open Source community.
106
107On a related note, we are looking for a mirror in Japan.  If you are
108an ISP or University in Japan and are willing to spare 20Mbps for a
109SourceForge.net mirror (we'll supply the hardware), please let us
110know at bandwidth@sourceforge.net

242EMAIL LIST REMOVAL:
243
244When the SF.NET team sends out a site-wide email, we sometimes see
245replies that look like this:  "Hey!! I didn't subscribe to this list!!!
246You spammer. I hate you!  I hate your dog!  (insert other colorful
247phrases here)".  The truth is, when you registered on SourceForge.net
248there was a check box that said "Receive Site-wide updates, low
249volume".  You left it checked when you submitted the registration form,
250hence you are receiving this email.  We send these updates every 4 to 6
251weeks, so it truly is low volume.  However if you want off, this is not
252a problem.  Simply click on the link below.
