I get the impression this is a one-way street - value only flows from Oracle to the Community. No mention of the value that the community itself produces; the comment about investing more in their proprietary Solaris seems to imply that Oracle's focus has moved *away* from our open source community... Under Sun's direction, there was a desire and commitment to participate fully in the OpenSolaris open source community, by contributing innovative technologies to the community, by taking leadership roles in the community and by incorporating the work of the community back into its products. What Oracle really desires is still unstated, but their actions are speaking pretty loudly. -John _______________________________________________ ogb-discuss mailing list ogb-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/ogb-discuss
