Magical apt-clone, broken system recovery
,----[ Quote ]
| I have heard such comments multiple times, from different people. One would
| think that after so much time, Sun would start to understand what it takes to
| build a community around any piece of software! Let me use the moment to
| shout out: Sun, please cut the community some slack! :)

Sun May Surprise Its Critics
,----[Quote ]
| With the $700 million to $800 million in projected annual savings from a
| smaller workforce, Sun could get back to break-even in less than a year.
| Sun's actual cash losses over the last four reported quarters — which include
| three quarters of recession — were just over $700 million. Even if the
| company loses another $500 million or more before those savings kick in, it
| will still likely have a strong balance sheet when it returns to
| profitability.

Not with a bang, but a whimper

| Roy Fielding[1] finally quit the OpenSolaris community today, see his
| resignation letter[2]. The kettle finally boiled over and the realization
| come to many (but not all) that Sun is publishing their Solaris code for
| marketing purposes, rather than creating an independent, community-led, open
| source project with the ability to make real decisions.

Sun Confirms Inflexability & Community Disregard
,----[ Quote ]
| On Monday OGB Chairman Rich Teer posted Sun's answer (crafted by Mr Bill
| Franklin with the assistance of Mr. Simon Phipps) to the OGB's request for
| clarification regarding the highly controversial decision to name Project
| Indiana "OpenSolaris". The issue is highly mixed, on one hand you have Sun
| Microsystems looking for a way to monetize OpenSolaris, on the other hand
| they are redefining the term "OpenSolaris", around which everything is based,
| without a single regard for the community.

| of L. Ron Hubbard's Survey tech that I've ever seen. It was an e-mail
