You can, but that is not the way open source works, it comes from the heart not the pocket, this is something that Sun never understood. They were always trying to give out some swag so that the people could be their marketing lemmings. The last SVOSUG meeting there was some bags that looked like loin cloths to me, they were completely useless, IMO. Sun always felt that by giving SWAG to people they would just flock to the community and be a part of it. The people that ran the <cough> (Open)Solaris program just were not in touch with the actual people, most never attend user groups at all, except for Jim Grisanzio. > Why don't we rename the organisation then?

We need to be able to build it ourselves, to get rid of the closed sources, to not be dependent on a company like Oracle so that we can build. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
