Sign me up for the latter because I think it may take some real ground swell
grass roots demonstration to get this to happen.

Maybe we all get tie-dyed T-shirts, big hair, beads and sandals and march on
the Adobe offices and hold a "sit in"  protesting their methods.

It may take that .. or a unified blog and web site launch on every community
site we can muster.

Looking in retrospect; Adobe and Macromedia would have been nice
things to purchase when SUN's share price was sky high - sure, it
wouldn't have had any of the buzz words required by the bean counters,
but it would have still been a nice cash cow.

Just a prod in the SUN direction - how about SUN releasing a stripped
down video card based on the Majc processor for PC's with PCI express
buses, throw 128-256MB on the card, and sell it at a reasonable price
- I would purchase one, and it'll be nice 'screw you' to ati and their
lack of co-operation; and as a good bone to churck at the opensource
community, make the video card drivers completely opensource and
released under CDDL.
