And I just found this one today:
http://www.univagridengine.com/ Again, as a contributor who has stayed with Oracle and Sun Grid Engine and Open Grid Scheduler for over 10 years, I think it is unacceptable to register a domain using other company's product name. While Univa has been using FUD against open source, this is not the way to revenge. -Ron ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Chen <ron_chen_...@yahoo.com> To: Mark Magento <markmaje...@gmail.com> Cc: users <users@gridengine.org> Sent: Friday, January 6, 2012 12:46 AM Subject: Re: [gridengine users] More Univa FUD??? Hi Mark, (Just back from my vacation and I am really late in this discussion.) Did you create this website? http://unicloud.wordpress.com/ While I am not a fan of Univa (mainly have problem with its market practices), I am also not a fan of those who create a website using the name of other people's products (i.e. Univa's UniCloud), with the content of the website all about bashing Univa's products. If possible, please unregister that blog - it is not helping anyone in the HPC or Cloud industry. Also, the "Grid Engine Truth" website referenced in the article is dead: http://www.gridenginetruth.com/ But from WHOIS, the registrant of the site is "Mike Majento", who also owns Univa Sucks: http://www.univasucks.com/ And who has also written articles like these: http://www.submitarticles-free.com/computer-and-technology/software/univa/ http://goarticles.com/article/Univa/5656485/ And an article written by "Grayson Tyreman" telling people to use Scalable Logic or Platform LSF!? Both Rayson and I did not write this, and I am sure the BioTeam, Oracle (Andy), and Reuti did not write this - I know Rayson and Andy for a long time, and Reuti & the Bioteam have been helping this community for almost 9 years without asking for any return. (Platform Computing has been flighting SGE for a long time, but I don't know them well so I can't comment on whether they are behind this or not.) However, I think this is to create further fragmentation in Grid Engine, and this madness has to stop! (I am speaking for myself, and I have not done any business with Univa or other Grid Engine players like Scalable Logic or Sun and/or Oracle. But as a contributor & someone who has stayed with the SGE community for 10+ years I think I need to say something about this!) -Ron ________________________________ From: Mark Magento <markmaje...@gmail.com> To: d...@sonsorol.org Cc: users <users@gridengine.org> Sent: Friday, December 16, 2011 12:50 PM Subject: Re: [gridengine users] More Univa FUD??? Chris, Thanks for the feedback. After looking over that post and reading your feedback I have changed the language on it considerably. My overall issue with Univa has been some of the claims they make and I think that it is not beneficial to the community or the project. I have tried to take it up with Univa but they lend a deaf ear. They have every right to pursue commercial interests but my motivation here was only to help give the community a stronger voice to combat some of the claims that Univa has made that are less than beneficial to the community and the project. As well as to help potential customers have more knowledge of other options that might help them make better decisions. In terms of the issue at hand, I realize that that name has never been used for anything with Grid Engine but it just seemed to me that having it owned by and linked to them was but another link in a long chain of negative actions toward the community as fully documented on previous mails on gridengine.org. I'm sorry if you disagree but it seems to me that Univa is slowly trying to get rid of the community as it would present the biggest barrier to it making money with Grid Engine. Please see the changes made to my blog at http://gridenginetruth.blogspot.com/ .
