OSDN becomes OSTG

[Posted July 28, 2004 by corbet]

The Open Source Developers Network, host to Slashdot, NewsForge, SourceForge, etc., has gone through a makeover and is now the Open Source Technology Group. The company's web sites have been fixed up "...to deliver more in-depth articles and resources to help our forward-thinking audience make critical business and purchasing decisions."

OSTG looks to much like The SCO Group

Does anyone else think OSTG, particularly since the terminating G=Group,
looks uncomfortably like TScoG, The SCO Group? One might a name
of /anything/-group at this point could be considered a poor choice for an
open-source/Linux technology corporation.

I just hope it doesn't go the same way.

OSDN has always been a meaningless grouping anyway; it started as "sites VA Linux runs" and seems to end at the same place, only the sites suck even more now, and VA doesn't do Linux.
