First, my thanks to Dennis for his very kind and supportive comments. I have always enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy, working with him and the members of Blastwave. I fully expect to have our individual communites join together with the OpenSolaris world of develpers to define and deploy the large "external tools/applications" software part of this effort. There are many things to plan and create and we all hope this can be done quickly and cleverly by the community.
There are no plans to "disband" our current individual efforts. Sunfreeware and Blastwave will continue to support our user bases with packages for all the levels of Solaris we now support and in the ways we currently do. We will be adding to and improving those efforts in a major way by our OpenSolaris support. New ideas about development and distribution of software that come from OpenSolaris will surely find their way into the support of older versions of Solaris - which are still used by a huge number of end users who will continue to need support for many years I suspect. So, basically, we will be working together, separately, and with anyone who wants to contribute in what we expect will be a well-defined way. Our efforts will expand while we maintain our current services - all under the umbrella of the OpenSolaris community.
