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...
Just as a clarification, Oracle does have a set of roadmaps that it
regularly makes available to customers as part of an NDA. If you wish
to see further down the line, your best bet is starting with a sale
representative.
Maybe, but an NDA is orthogonal to the principals of an open source project.
Maybe the problem facing OpenSolaris is the understandable perceived
need for NDAs for commercial Solaris conflicting with the desired
openness of OpenSolaris. If OpenSolaris is to freed into Solaris next
and Solaris next is covered by an NDA....
