LinuxWatch, let's just agree to disagree but the ground rules, at least, necessitate empirical corroboration of all claims...

>>Huh? How has the fact that the CEO gave up on the company
>>improved matters? Maybe Ali resigned for a reason. Maybe
>>there's no there there.

Ali was fired. Advance approximately 21:10 into the Collins Stewart Growth Conference ir.corp.sourceforge.co... held July 9th in New York.

LW, again, some of what you say is valid concerning SourceForge [prior] to q1 2008 (October 2008) with the hiring of Jonathan Sobel caps.fool.com/Blogs/Vi... and the firing of the CEO on June 10th, 2008.

With all due respect LinuxWatcher also failed to address where SourceForge (NASDAQ:LNUX) is at [now], including but not limited to bringing on Jonathan Sobel Oct 2007 (q1 2008) and Ali Jenab's resignation q4 2008. LinuxWatcher's post was accurate as of q4 2007 to early q1 2008 but it would be wreckless to conclude due diligence at LinuxWatcher's post as its ommission's also trivialize/negate its clear and presently stated shareholder value maximization strategy, hence its actual PV/DCF/stock price... All things equal, I believe LNUX [is] at a shareholder value maximization tipping point as Greg Weston's article suggests but for arguably different reasons vis-a-vis my Motley Fool Blog.
