Open Source -- Then and Now: A Conversation With Ray Gans of the OpenJDK
Community Program

,----[ Quote ]
| Few have been closer to the day-to-day processes involved in open sourcing 
| the Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) than Ray Gans, a manager at Sun 
| Microsystems with a long history of working with Java compatibility programs. 
| He currently manages the OpenJDK and Mobile & Embedded community programs, 
| where he works to improve the collaboration between Sun and the open-source 
| Java developer community. We met with him to gain a better understanding of 
| how the open sourcing of the Java SE platform is going and where it is 
| headed.

| Sun has discovered the exact same thing. Freedom sells. Or, rather,
