Hi, I do not think comparing OpenSolaris/Solaris with a Linux model is correct in anyway. Expecting code contribution(s) from the community at this point of time is not correct either ( this is my opinion )
I am taking my experience as an example and framing this explanation. I belong to one of those new blood OpenSolaris users/developers, people were talking on the lists about. How does the OpenSolaris project benifit Solaris in general?. The buzz created while releasing OpenSolaris gave an Opportunity to me give it a try. I never heard of Solaris before. I messed with it long enough to like it. I loved it enough to recommend it to "Decison makers". And the company is planning to buy the "Support Contracts". If at all OpenSolaris project never happend. We would have never made a decison to get those contracts. The Project has been opensourced recently ( in relative terms ). It takes time for the community of users/developers to be matured enough to make code contributions back to the project. Just saying "What did the community do?" is not the right way to go. -PS _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
