Open source is no longer a techie-only domain and definitely warrants its own offering instead of just being another post on a blog. That being said, there are others like weblogsinc, o'reilly, ohloh, etc. who have been dabbling in this for some time but neither packs the same punch that Om brings to the blogosphere.

I guess hes seen a niche that none of the other big Tech blog networks are not using. so my question is OpenCrunch.com next then? :p I don't think Om gets enough credit for pushing outside the boundaries of normal tech blogging areas. He has some good blogs. I think he bailed on the gaming one to early but hiring wagner was his only mistake.

Right now it seems a little sparse, for example there isn't a open source alternative listed for windows server 2003. There's seems to be a huge amount of work still to be done. I've liked what Om's done in the past so i'll give him the benifit of the doubt. It wont make my primary news sources list right now but i'm open to what they have to offer.
