Nevertheless, I have t say it is very difficult to work this way.
I am talking OpenSolaris (but many things apply to Solaris as well).
1) No roadmap (do you have seen one recently)
Has been mentioned many times here: Oracle has a policy of NEVER publishing
roadmaps. So, that fact, that you did not SEE any roadmap does not mean, that
there is no such roadmap... Anyone of the engineers or people inside Oracle
talking to stuff on those roadmaps are under the threat of being thrown out
immediately. So, sorry, get used to that fact...
I usually stay well clear of these threads, but I keep seeing them and
the common theme and cause is lack of communication.
Open source projects are built on open communication as well as open
code. Lack of communication will doom a project just as effectively as
closing the source.
You simply can't have a successful community when the bulk of the
members can't communicate with the rest. Sun understood this, but I
don't think Oracle does.
I've been here since the beta, and I have to admit I have become very
disillusioned this year. How can I promote something to my clients when
I don't know what is has become?
