For those of us who have to worry about making pay rolls, the No. 1 item that's always in our mind is that we have enough cash in the bank to make the pay roll.
For Oracle/Ellison, I believe their No. 1 priority right now is to make sure that the Sun acquisition shows a sign of, or at least leading to, a positive cash flow. Everything that does not directly deal with profits is not even secondary, but detracting--at least at the present time. Once this sign of profitability is hopefully established, we can then reasonably expect Ellison's lieutenants to put their minds on the 2010.whatever/if-ever. In the meantime, I have gone back to Solaris 10--in fact I have been doing that even before the recent turmoil. I don't know if anyone still remembers this, but when the Open Solaris project first started a little more than 5 years ago, the freely downloadable Solaris 10 was all we got. The Open Solaris project needs a lot of soul searching--personally I think it has become hopelessly stagnant, disappointingly going nowhere, and was wasting a lot of my time. (I wouldn't mind continue to "play" with the OpenSolaris distro if I saw it has a chance of success--but no, I have actually totally given up & switched back to Solaris proper.) A little disruption now is maybe what the doctor would order. > Ok, this is not to start a flame war, just to hope > for news/hints/grapevine, is there any hope to get > 2010.06? > > At first I can understand 2010.03 is delayed to > accommodate showstopper fixes, but with quite a few > builds after b134 as of now, is it really a point to > have something like b134a? what are the showstoppers > exactly? > > Not that I actually wait for 2010.x but I am waiting > the day /dev to be thawed.. > > Ivan. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
