I was a huge fan of Amy Stephen's Open Source Community website. The site's mission was built on a desire to be a "place for those of us interested in open source solutions and community issues". OSC shared a similar goal of mine in which I have a strong desire to bring people together from competing Web CMS projects, products, and organizations and compare perspectives (though I have interest in propriety systems as well as open source). Unfortunately OSC went offline last April with only a promise to be back up sometime in the future.
I will be taking the site down sometime tomorrow evening and will likely be down for awhile. It could be a week - maybe two, but one day, it'll be back! Thanks!
Recent discussion here at CMSReport.com brought the whereabouts of OSC back into question. I personally don't know when OSC will ever be back online. However, I think perhaps the better question might be, if you liked OSC.org what other sites should be considered? That is a very hard question to answer.
I've recently started taking a look at Ostatic. I'm not convinced it is the best replacement for OSC, but for me it is a start. So I ask my gentle readers, What Internet forum would you recommend that can be a place for those interested in open source solutions and community issues?
