What is interesting is the OpenDS mailing list, where Ludovic Poitou explained that the reason for all this is that the governance has been changed without Sun approval.

Back one year, when we met OpenDS peeps at Austin during the US Apache Conference, we pointed out that Open DS governance was not really good (ie, as the project leader _must_ be a Sun employee, that means it's not an OSS, but a OSS managed by Sun). The modification changed this point to something more open :
https://opends.dev.java.net/source/browse/opends/trunk/www/public/docs/dev-docs/OpenDS-Governance.html?r1=1622&r2=1739

It has been reverted last week :
https://opends.dev.java.net/source/browse/opends/trunk/www/public/docs/dev-docs/OpenDS-Governance.html?r1=1739&r2=3475

Sun will have some hard time to stop the flurry of comment about what happened... Not especially a confortable position for them, nor for Neil and the Austin ex-team ...
