What about source code ? I think for this to be an OpenSolaris project
I'd want to see source. OpenSolaris isn't a general Sun site for all
stuff.
I understand that opinion. It's pretty clear that if we get this
approved we won't be putting up source code tomorrow, however we intend
to open source Honeycomb it will just take some time. What we want to do
is to help build things around Honeycomb and also pass on the knowledge
from making Honeycomb into the appropriate OpenSolaris bits (eg the
appliance community)
Unless you are going to provide the source code for Honeycomb under an
OSI approved license *and* the intent is this becomes part of
OpenSolaris distributions then it is '-1' from me. This isn't the
appropriate hosting site.
This is coming, but it has not yet been decided.
Let me give some reasons to be clearer about our intentions.
1. We want to let people know about Honeycomb because we think
it's cool (and that it's real rather than just some marketing
bs).
2. We want to build a developer community around using Honeycomb
as archival storage. Initially this will be supplying
binaries of the SDK/API and emulator. but with the intention
to open them when we get the appropriate approval
Personally I thought we'd have enough useful stuff for people to play
with by providing information and by providing the SDK and emulator
before we go ahead an open everything up (since this may well be a time
consuming process).
