how are the situations alike? ubuntu aimed to create a linux distribution called ubuntu from day one, what sun intended to do with opensolaris is not really that clear; sun released the code and helped build a community around the project. after 2+ years and a couple of opensolaris based distributions someone at indiana thought it was a good idea to call a new distribution that was being developed with the comunity's aid "opensolaris" mark shuttleworth didnrt call his linux derivative just linux, someone at indiana decided to call their opensolaris distribution opensolaris > > Is Mark Shuttleworth evil for making decisions about Ubuntu without > consulting the community? he is not evil, he just started the project, and all those that joined did it knowing that he might make some of those decisions without consulting them > > Ah, double-standards... > i'm happy indiana decided to release an opensolaris based distribution that aims to improve the current situation in many different ways, what i'm not happy with is the way they chose the name they were going to give it. someone said, "change the name and this problem will dissapear very fast" and i agree nacho _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
