Are you saying we are not growing fast enough?
You cannot enforce this kind of growing speed
and I believe that our growing speed is just OK.
I'd like to grow a bit faster, but in general I absolutely agree with
your comment here. Thanks.
All in all we may be doing the best that we can given the circumstances.
Let' face the facts, a very closed process hidden behind layers of
concrete and security is being brought open. We see piles of traffic
from Sun folks here out in the open. Its been a long haul and yes,
some progress has been made. Perhaps I simply expected ... more.
I think it's fine to expect more -- as long as you realize how far we've
come, how far we plan to go, and how diverse the community will grow.
Ignoring achievements is just as bad as ignoring problems. I appreciate
your recognition of our progress as well as your articulation of the
things that need fixing.
To me, one of the interesting things about the OpenSolaris project is
that the original team (pre-pilot, pre S10, long time ago) was very
small and actually had very /few/ expectations (aside from the obvious
need for tools, an open license, infrastructure, etc). We managed things
that were of immediate concern, knowing full well that the project would
emerge over time. This is a critical point many of us are forgetting.
The opening of Solaris engineering organization (code, tools, people)
and the building of the OpenSolaris community didn't happen on June 14,
2005. It just /started/ then and remains an ongoing process. Expect
more. More is coming. But it's now not only coming from Sun.
I was talking to a Sun guy in China recently on my way to a university.
He said that there would be 300 or so students at the event when we got
there. Well, there were actually 600! And it turns out that they had a
similar event a few weeks prior, but they had to "turn the buses back"
because they ran out of room for everyone. OpenSolaris will look
different in different places, but the seeds are being planted for
innovation to come from all directions. It's still /very/ early.
