I mentioned earlier this year that Sun did never make the promises from 
September 14th 2004 reality, I should add that Roy Fielding has been a member 
of the OpenSolaris pilot that started in September 2004 and he even has become 
a member of the CAB (a precursor of the OGB) in 2005. Roy Fielding left the 
OpenSolaris community on February 14th 2008 because Sun did not make 
OpenSolaris a truely oSS project:
