I didn't see lack of previous contributions as a problem, but I was in the same boat, acting because I thought someone had to. For information, I'm afraid the warning appeared just to be attacks on another commercial interest and then the warnee. > While we are competitors fighting for open source Grid Engine "market > share", Actually, I've no interest in open source "market share" or fighting (unless attacked). > 1) At the beginning of this year on the Grid Engine steering committee > mailing list, I could feel the urgency from Univa that it really > wanted to eliminate all the open source GE forks - I felt that their > goal was to remove all versions of Grid Engine, including SoGE & OGS > by asking us to merge with them, For what it's worth, I assumed I'd maintain a home (if no-one else would) for stuff Univa wouldn't include, such as otherwise-OK contributions without legal papers and the other repos that seemed worth preserving.
