History
CollabNet was founded in 1999 by O'Reilly Media and Brian Behlendorf, co-founder of the Apache project. The current president and CEO is Bill Portelli.
In 2000, CollabNet started the open source Subversion, now the leading revision control in open-source projects [1] with over 3 million users.[2] CollabNet also hosts the open source collaboration website Tigris.org.
CollabNet claims 500 enterprise customers and over 1.5 million users.
CollabNet's products
Commercial Versions
CollabNet Subversion is CollabNet's distribution of Subversion for Windows, Red Hat Linux and Solaris. CollabNet Subversion comes with extras such as ViewVC and an out-of-the-box recommended configuration of Subversion.
CollabNet's core products, CollabNet Enterprise Edition and SourceForge Enterprise Edition, integrate tools for software configuration management, requirements management, issue and task tracking, communication and application lifecycle management in a collaborative software development environment. SourceForge Enterprise Edition was acquired by CollabNet from VA Software on April 24, 2007.[2]
CollabNet CUBiT allows companies to centrally manage build and test environments by pooling hardware that developers and testers can provision and configure from their desktops.[citation needed]
Community Edition
Not being in CollabNet's product comparison, the Community Edition provides tools and community management to foster collaborative development. In an interview in March 2006[3], Bill Portelli, said that about 25 percent of CollabNet's customers include open source development projects. The Community Edition is used for open source sites such as java.net (http://dev.java.net/), NetBeans[4], OpenOffice.org, BEA's dev2dev, and eBay's open source community[5].
