Part 2 looksat the SourceForge and Slashdot communities and how the differentowners have interacted with them. "[Logan] Abbott got off on theright foot with open source developers with his SourceForge post in earlyFebruary, SourceForge Acquisition and Future Plans. "Our first order of business was to terminate the 'DevShare' program," he wrote. " ... We want to restore our reputation as a trusted home for open source software, and this was a clear first step towards that. We're more interested in doing the right thing than making extra short-term profit," he added."
