Here ya' go
Created by Brian Behlendorf, Collab.net President and
CTO and co-founder of the Apache Software
Foundation, and O'Reilly & Associates, sourceXchange
provides a dynamic forum where sponsors who need
Open Source programming talent can contract with
qualified developers for specific development projects.
Developers can also submit proposals to the
sourceXchange Wish List, soliciting the talents of their
peers in Open Source community for projects that
contribute to the common good. Over 85 suggestions
have been submitted to the Wish List in the past two
weeks.
"The response to sourceXchange by Open Source
developers has been terrific, and as we bring on more
projects, I expect that interest to grow even further," said
Behlendorf. "Now is the time to show that this new model
can work--that sponsors can accomplish their objectives
through the deployment and further development of
Open Source solutions, and that we've got an
infrastructure that supports that."
