Oracle Analyzing MySQL, OpenOffice Partner Strategies
,----[ Quote ]
| When it comes to Sun Microsystemsâ
| technology, Oracleâs top partner priority
| is to promote Sun servers and storage. But
| if you listen closely to Oracle Channel
| Chief Judson Althoff, youâll discover that
| heâs already contemplating channel partner
| strategies for Sunâs MySQL, Java and
| OpenOffice offerings.

The viability of open source forking
,----[ Quote ]
| Although my feelings haven't changed, based
| on the information currently available,
| questions regarding OpenSolaris are
| starting to generate notable discussion.
|
| [...]
|
| Said differently, "The source is available,
| so be warned, Oracle."
|
| OpenSolaris community member Ben Rockwood
| wrote a measured response:
|
| Here is where I want to be careful.
| Asking for autonomy at this juncture
| would be very foolish I think. If they
| grant it, they will essentially expect
| us to fork and re-establish the
| community without Sun/Oracle resources.
| That means the website goes,
| communication is severed, employees are
| instructed not to putback to the
| autonomous codebase, etc. I think it
| would go very very badly and we'd
| essentially help kill the community.
|
| The size of the community at present is
| pretty small and relatively inactive.
| Support for Nexenta, Belenix, etc, is
| orders of magnitude less so. These
| projects are productive and active, but
| the numbers are tiny compared to the
| official community. Add it all up and I
| think we have little reason to think
| that an autonomous community would
| really have any real support unless we
| get a sudden and massive influx of
| contributing developers. So it is,
| imho, a non-starter.

| available from the OpenSolaris downloads site.
