You miss the point. This is a discussion list about OpenSolaris. Not

It's possible, but it looks more like an attempt to weave a conspiracy
(which is always possible no matted where you choose to look for your
"facts").
Like many here, I have high hopes for OpenSolaris remaining the
absolutely best alternative out there for many tasks, but the pattern of
changes Oracle are making is rather disturbing. Especially combined with
the total lack of communication skills.>
Killing the conversation isn't the solution.
Again, the things Oracle *has* officially stated about OpenSolaris have
been to the positive, and reference is being continually made to them by
folks like Matthias.

Quite honestly I'm getting sick of seeing it.
Then forward the worrying upwards in the system you now are part of, and
let the managers sort things out (usually by escalating it to someone
who actually have the authority to do something about the actual
problem: Lack of communications).
You know what I find really offensive about this statement? It's the
implication that those of us who are inside Oracle (as technical people
with an interest in OpenSolaris) are NOT doing this.
You have no idea what Oracle employees who work with OpenSolaris are
doing and saying internally and to imply otherwise is incredibly
presumptive.
I think it safe to say at the very least that there are a LOT of folks
involved in VERY active discussions on many levels internally.
There are a lot of us who have put a lot of our lives and ourselves into
this project and to even imply that we are sitting on our backsides
twiddling our thumbs while this all happens is certainly not helpful and
hardly encouraging for us to keep the discussions going.
> Killing the conversation isn't the solution.
I am not and was not advocating killing the conversation. However
talking about the right thing in the right forums would certainly help.
I know that there are folks on this forum who *are* engaging their sales
representatives, and I've even seen a few writing to Larry Ellison. I
also know that there is also a large number of people on this forum that
all they have done is to write to this forum.
This question is not directed at anyone in particular. It's directed at
everyone.
One of these actions is helpful. One is not. Which camp do you fall in to?
