I've been wanting to do some Sun vs Fujitsu PrimePower testing but
hadn't gotten around to it. If someone can hook me up with Fujistu eval
equipment I could spend some time working on it.
Anyone got friends at Fujitsu?

Will Fujitsu join the OpenSolaris project some day?
This is an interesting point in how it is phrased, and it comes up
occasionally. For me, anyway.
Fujitsu engineers are certainly welcome to join, as is anyone from
Sun's partners, ISVs, customers, etc. When we ran the pilot program,
we tapped many sources for people to get going -- but we were looking
for individuals to build a community, not specifically big companies
Sun had relationships with. Sure, some of those guys were invited and
some came along (and are coming along now). But we wanted to engage
the individual developers within those companies (and elsewhere) who
were interested in future community co-involvement. Many were, many
were not. We did this intentionally so that the project would be
characterized as a developer program that would grow into a community
of equals, not a Sun ISV/partner/customer program. It may not seem
like a big distinction, but from where I sit here at Sun it's actually
a pretty significant difference.
Thanks for bringing it up.
Jim
