I am rather saddened that Nexenta and Joyent have shown so little in helping
OpenIndiana (although I appreciate there is no direct commercial reason for
doing so). But I'm even more saddened that the greater community have shown
little interest either. If OI were to die, it would be a big loss for all of
us. It gets over 5000 downloads a month and has done since launch, which is a
significant number.
I keep wondering why so many well known names from the
Solaris/OpenSolaris scene shown little interest in OpenIndiana from the
very start. And I think in most cases the reasons are non-technical.
1. People don't like the name.
2. People don't like the packaging system and the fact that it is
controlled by Oracle.
3. People don't like the fact that the project was founded by non ex-Sun
person and think it is controlled by EveryCity.
So many capable people are behaving like if the project didn't exist for
one reason or another which is quite sad... :(
