Does anyone with knowledge of Sun politics know how we can effectively
lobby for more support for Java on Linux? I really don't understand
what's going on at Sun. The official word is they are "supporting"
Linux, but the results they've delievered have been less than
exciting. No offense, Blackdown guys! You're doing great. But have you
really gotten any help from Sun?
The part I don't understand is every single person at Sun I've ever
talked to is enthusiastic about supporting Linux. There's a good
technical case to make for it now, too - Java is moving towards the
embedded systems market (notably, through Jini), and Linux is better
suited for this application than pretty much any other mainstream OS.
Is there some internal politics going on that is making Linux be
second fiddle to Windows?
Anyway, if anyone with some understanding of Sun is interested in
working on putting together some effective activism, please contact
me. Maybe we can make something happen.
