McNealy zings iPhone, laments the PC, claims Sun started open source

,----[ Quote ]
| The most shocking remark that McNealy made 
| in his 45-minute presentation was that Sun 
| was the pioneer of open source software. He 
| put open source software as number three on 
| his list of Sunâs top 10 tech innovations 
| of all time. Before he made the claim, he 
| admitted, âIâll sound a little like Al Gore 
| here.â Then McNealy said he thinks the 
| assertion can easily be backed up. He 
| pointed to the open source origins of BSD 
| and the fact that âBSD + UNIX System 5 = 
| Solaris.â

Reasons to Try Open SSO Plug-Ins for Three Popular CMS Offerings

,----[ Quote ]
| Open SSO, Sunâs open source single sign on 
| solution, has gotten a big boost from Pat 
| Patterson, a sun engineer who did the 
| community a huge favor in creating not one 
| but 3 different flavors of an OpenSSO plug-
| in for some of the most popular open source 
| CMSâ on the market: Drupal, Wordpress, and 
| Joomla.

OpenOffice.org at Oracle after the Sun Acquisition

,----[ Quote ]
| Under Sun, OpenOffice integration with
| business applications was sorely
| lacking. If I was running Oracleâs
| application business, Iâd make sure
| these days are over, and that
| OpenOffice integrates well with its
| applications offering. There are many
| organizations whose feature checklist
| for business applications includes
| OpenOffice integration. In a head-to-
| head competitive sales situation
| between Oracle and SAP, this will be a
| box only the Oracle sales rep can check
| off.
