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 the OpenStorage box link to the community not  
the Sun product page. I'd also like to request a review of the process  
that got them there.
