"exlusivity" ? I give up. I really do. Once upon a time I thought it would be a really great idea to build a project that allows people to login and play. To build software and "do things". Like create open source software in an open way, for free, and get involved. Doors were always open. Sun had no such thing at the time and people seemed to want something like that. Here I am in 2006 with people upset and outright angry with me. I have a guy sending me an email that tells me to issue an apology to Kieth and Steve C. I see another guy wants to run around to all his clients and tell them to avoid blastwave. Well done, build a bridge and then watch people complain as they drive over it. At least I have a few people that tell me that its great that they can get all this software so easily. I can live with that I guess. Now then .. is someone actually creating a new maillist ? -- Dennis Clarke _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
