SourceForge provides an assortment of very useful services to the users using its site for project development and some of them are listed below.
1. Compile Farm
The Compile Farm gives developers access to a number of different hosts that may be used for the compiling and testing of the code. These hosts all use different platforms for testing the softwares. Currently there are 12 hosts running 6 different operating systems and 5 different hardware profiles. For more information just check http://sourceforge.net/docs/compile_farm
2. CVS (Concurrent Versioning System)
It also provides with CVS while allowing you to centrally store your code. You are also provided with your own CVS space called Repository.
3. Publicity
Another huge advantage of hosting your projects at this site is publicity and loads of exposure that it is bound to get.
And yet a lot of services that I didn’t mention are there to help you out so just go on and try it out.

SourceForge??
You must be wondering what SourceForge is…
For all those who are new to the Open Source Movement SourceForge http://www.sourceforge.net is one of the largest open source development site on the net. It claims to host more than 100,000 projects and has over 1,000,000 users registered with it. This in itself is a testament of the growing popularity of the Open Source Movement, which the site itself carries forward the definition by providing an open, collaborative environment. So here every body can share their efforts and technologies. This way we can share a useful and bug free code.
This site is basically owned by the OSTG (the Open Source Technology Group), Inc which also owns popular sites like linux.com, ThinkGeek and DevChannel.
If you feel like registering your account with it, then to tell its just a little bit complicated so just write in back if you need any help.
