I am entirely happy with the decision by Sun management to bring in Steve Christensen as the project lead on this. He has been working with Solaris and the open source software package process longer than anyone on the planet. He is supremely qualified and is an actual scientist with both a brilliant mind and a personality that is easy to work with. Quite frankly, he has all the credentials and the skills to lead this project. The SunFreeware project has been in existence for a incredibly long time and in the computer industry we need to give credit to anyone that can run a stable public process for years. The Blastwave project was created out of a grassroots movement and I think that I have done all that one can do to foster it and direct it. Now it is time to go to the OpenSolaris Community and see if we can all work together to create a singular vision for open source software packages. There will be great challenges ahead and I am only too happy to work with Steve in this project. We need to cast aside any misconceptions related to the strengths or weaknesses of a particular software project and now look to the future. This is the OpenSolaris Community and we have great strength in our resources. Let's pool them together and work together. Therefore let it be said that I want to throw all of my energies towards working with Steve and my dream is that Solaris and OpenSolaris can have a vast and rich field of options for users for a very long time to come.
