SourceForge Embraces OpenID in a Broad Implementation

SourceForge, which is behind several media properties including Slashdot, SourceForge.net, Linux.com and Freshmeat.net, is announcing today that it is including OpenID functionality in its SourceForge.net website.

SourceForge's move, and the extent to which it's embracing OpenID, makes it one of the largest implementers yet.
