Disagree partly. * The links for OpenStorage are wrong, they should be pointing at the community properties on OpenSolaris. That community has news today and it is appropriate to highlight them. * VirtualBox is a bona fides open source tool that OpenSolaris community folks want to use. I think both are relevant topics. My concern is how they got there and what the OpenStorage link says. > > > I'd like to request that these be taken down ASAP. -1 I'd like to request that the OpenStorage box link to the community not the Sun product page.
