Three years ago I attended an "open-source CEO" dinner, at which I was seated between the CEOs of SourceForge and CollabNet (founder and principal proponent of the Subversion VCS). I asked the CollabNet CEO what he thought about Git, and he was dismissive, indicating that Subversion had already won. I then asked the SourceForge CEO if he knew about GitHub; he was vaguely familiar with them, but appeared utterly unconcerned. I thought to myself, All the battles have been fought and lost, and these guys don't even know there's a war.
Not really surprised there. I've worked for both CEOs of SourceForge and Collabnet (the software that I worked with, SourceForge Enterprise Edition was purchased by CollabNet in 2007). CollabNet's CEO seems to think that Subversion will change the world [engineering's had a DVCS integration into SFEE (now teamforge) for the last two years, but product management wouldn't allow it to be included], and SourceForge is nothing more than a media company that's bootstrapped by thinkgeek.net.
