Features: Here is Advogato.com describes the community:

The main thing an Advogato account does for you, is give you a point of reference on a major free software community website. You will immediately be able to create a profile page and a blog. Once your account has been certified by other trusted users, you will also be able to post to the news flow, create projects, or syndicate your blog to the Advogato recentlog from your existing blogging site. Trusted users also get an RSS feed for their blog and an autogenerated FOAF RDF file for their profile. New features are being added all the time, so being certified will bring other benefits down the line.

Review: The layout of the site is as barebones as one can get and I think that is the way the creators wanted it. This site is about finding people that share your passion for code and help to work on open source software together. While the community isn’t huge there is activity with new calls for projects coming out every few days or so.

This site is for the hard core passionate coder..
