Working together to the benefit of both sides was the plan from September 14
2004.
Sun was expected to do the work that was seen to be of commercial interest while
the community was expected to work on the parts that are of interest for the
Community.
Given the fact that the OpenSolaris Summit in the Santa Clara Town Hall in
September 2004 was a Sun internal meeting where only a few external OSS
developers have been invited, it is obviouy that in 2004 this really has been
the goal for Sun.
Unfortunately, this never has been turned into reality.
As there have been aprox. 450 Sun employees in the Santa Clara Town Hall, it is
obvious that there stil must be a sufficient number of people working for
Oracle that remember September 14th 2004.....
