With Oracle's history of scooping up companies and then mismanaging them, what has happened to Front Porch Digital? Will Oracle/FPD be at NAB next week?

The FPD business is still up, running, developping and winning new logos. FPD were at CABSAT Dubai in March, at NAB Las Vegas in April and will be at BroadcastAsia Singapore in June and IBC Amsterdam in September, etc.
FPD was built upon tape so they would have had to migrate to something else eventually even if they were still on their own. Post acquisition, they still had some large domestic and international cable and sports networks as customers so I'm guessing FPD is still relevant but kind of lonely on the Broomfield, Colorado campus.
I'll give myself away. I did the SL4000 LOC OS install and configuration. From what I can gather, that's broken.
It will be interesting to see what happened to Front Porch. I think Oracle killed them,.
ORCL is listed as a vendor at NAB.
