[News] VA Software Headed for Bright Future, Thriving in Open Source?

Foolish Forecast: VA Software

,----[ Quote ]
| Enthusiast software developers the world over are familiar with news site
| Slashdot and open-source development site SourceForge. The parent company
| of both of these properties is ready to report earnings Tuesday night, so
| let's take a look at what to expect from VA Software.
| 
| [...]
| 
| Now, VA is trending up and the future looks good, but I think a word
| of caution is in order. You could argue that flagship news site Slashdot
| is losing relevance to cheeky young upstart Digg, and Google recently
| launched a software development hosting site that looks like direct
| competition for SourceForge, VA's other pride and joy. But at least
| there's still little or no competition for geeky shopping site ThinkGeek,
| which brings in a significant portion of VA's sales and profits. This
| earnings report looks like sunny skies, but the other issues could hurt
| the company down the road -- if left unheeded.
