The advertised speaker was Greg Lavender, but since he's left for Cisco I guess they'll have to think again. Maybe they'll just have an empty, silent stage and let the audience draw their own conclusions... OK OK I'll leave the dead horse alone now. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org __

STOP! There are so many of these threads about the future of OpenSolaris. I'm as guilty as anyone for replying to them, which keeps them alive, but enough is enough. Since the last one hasn't been replied to in over a day I thought that finally everything that could be said has been said, a
