During the ABA national annual meeting being held in Honolulu this week, I met the general counsel for China's "Linux Industry League". He expressed great interest in the OpenSolaris starter kit idea, though he admitted that, as an open-source advocate himself who is also heavily involved in helping the Chinese government developing its software policy, he never heard "Open" Solaris. Not even the slightest idea whatsoever.
With a physically distributable (& describable) medium in the form of a set of DVDs, he said he won't have any problem asking his people to take a look at Solaris. In fact he probably will never be bothered if he has to ask someone to go through the kind of process as I described in a separate post. (Sun also doesn't help the problem by maxing out the download speed at less than 200 KB/s--& I am talking about downloading within the US.) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
