It's taking really long, it's more than a few months since Univa hired some of the Oracle Grid Engine developers. When Sun was doing it, they got everything ready before announcing the project. > That is still in > progress. In regards to open-core.

And most importantly, we need to find out what are the missing bits that Univa will keep private, and how Univa is going to react if contributors outside of Univa implement the missing features in the opne-core. I am doing everything in Grid Engine/Grid Scheduler not for my own benefit (I have been contributing fixes & small features since 2001 and did not get a dollar from Sun or Oracle), but I am doing this for the people who benefit from my contributions - so the priorities of mine vs. the priorities of Univa will not be the same. -Ron > > Regards, > > Bill. > > On 2011-03-16, at 11:47 AM, Ron Chen wrote: > > > --- On Wed, 3/16/11, Dave Love <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> I was assuming the private branches that have been > merged > >> were just for > >> development, which is the right way to work. > I didn't > >> mean you were keeping anything back. > > > > While we are going to talk about merging the forks in > the next Grid Engine Steeling Committee Meeting, I am not > sure if we should do it in a short time. > > > > One thing is that I have not seen the contributor > agreement from Univa, and the other thing is that all the > code in Open Grid Scheduler is open source, so Univa and > others can take the changes and merge them if needed (Dave > has been looking at the changes in Open Grid Scheduler and > merge them into Son of Grid Engine for a while, so this is > not new). > > > > Finally, a lot of people do not believe in open-core, > which Univa is going to do with its branch.
