to mister harvey I work at neither company, but I am a great fan of Solaris, since about 2005 when Solaris 10 debuted. But what I don't like is the little bait and switch that happened with the oracle buyout and the subsequent treatment of the community members of the "open source initiative" that we got overblown with while under the other helm.
Kinda reminds me of a smack dealer with the friendly face and the hey don't worry about it attitude that when he gets what he needs (here it is community support) he changes his attitude and wants something for his time. Do you really think people contribute to these kinds of projects/communities for truly altruistic reasons? That would be severely naive, most people are hoping to use or touch the product that they are helping with not to be closed off/jerked off for months waiting to see what they created. Yeah there is a paid for version but just because oracle doesn't want to cannibalize their cash crop does not justify this kind of treatment. If they are that paranoid or tight just bring the whole damn thing in house and take the black eye from the community. Just quit jerking us off. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
