Who cares who can sue who, Well, the problem is here how do we market OpenIndiana and all this open source software effectively, how do we grow the community in a positive meaningful way. How to we make OpenIndiana & Illumos viable alternatives and brands that people can trust.
The 33 people who left OpenOffice is a step toward disaster if we don't build these brands what we'll have is another OpenVMS.... We need to find a distribution model that works, and a software stack that people can trust. The fact that we already have an AMAZING platform is a better starting point then most have. We have what was once dubbed 'The most advanced operating system in the world' we want to keep it that way. In my very humble opinion OpenIndiana should be used as our 'cutting/ bleeding edge' and Illumous as our stable production. When they eventually both become that way. Similar to the old SXDE/Solaris model except unrestricted. People dislike change, so lets follow a formula they are currently familiar with. Once we have something going I'm sure a big company who will remain nameless at this point will look at our work and sponsor our little community. Mind you this is just an idea I had, let me know what you think, I enjoy the feed back. _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
