Hi, Uros!
I totally agree with this point of view.
Let's see it in this way...it's more a reality than a point of view.
I (we) sent emails to the "assigned" Oracle employee to deal with the
communities, but didn't receive an answer in more than a month, or maybe
more time.
The results of our emails? Nothing. Neither an email saying "ACK", nor
an email with a plan for the future. They just ignore every communication.
And the problem is not that we have signs for OpenSolaris to be stopped
from being developed (by Oracle, of course)...there is no sign at all!
Of course we'll continue leading our communities to grow in the way we
dreamed, this lack of contact between Oracle and the communities does
not give us more than a lot of autonomy to do it, and grow independently
of what a company does.
But avoid surprises, if they continue with this policy they will not
have anybody to communicate with when deciding to do so. We will have
our own path, every day more and more independent from what they think
is their.
Best regards, my friend!
HeCSa.

Hello Volker,
Officially they published that they will continue to support Java,
OpenSolaris, NetBeans,
Oracle and Independent Oracle UGs but reality is completely different.
They do not
interact with us (Leaders, at least) as Teresa did all the time, they
do not send *any*
promotional material, some of UGs has to have some money to pay for
their meeting
spaces, and they do not reply to questions asked via mailing-lists
(except developers that
did it before and was employed by SUN). I do not know how to explain
this situation
but "ignoring" or "not supporting UGs".
By the way, it is nice to hear that you are alive :).
