SBAS, check out this CNET article on the coming prominence of open source programming. SBAS will be right in the middle of this with it's OpenAvenue product. Here is the description of OpenAvenue that someone posted yesterday: Its new OpenAvenue portal is designed to be a focal point for the open source community, allowing software developers worldwide to collaborate sharing knowledge and source code over the Internet. SBAS is already known as a key player in the software configuration management field and is a winner of numerous awards. Open Avenue will put it smack-dab in the middle of the Linux movement, "specializing in the hosting, management and distribution of world-wide collaborative software development projects" - all this without any need to increase overhead. The portal will serve as a place where the newly created open-source community (Linux, Windows, UNIX, Java etc.) will be able to maintain a dialogue about their freely hosted development projects, where StarBase will host development projects and where File Transfer Protocols (FTP's - an important issue) will be established, creating a virtual developer community. Additional value added partners who share StartBase's excitement and vision have been identified and will be shareholders - some of these are household names. SBAS will run the show, however, and SBAS shareholders will be the greatest beneficiaries in the group. To quote Rendell Swart, of StarBase's investor relations, OpenAvenue will "harness the talent of a community of developers on the Internet" and manage the process of global development. This is very exciting and potentially very powerful. CNET article: news.cnet.com
