It's nothing personal - I'm just kind of tired of too many

It's been bugging me for a while, and I've decided to start being a

Steve,
How much of this is management wanting every project to be OpenSolaris
and developers wanting
to do what they've been trained for? I.e., if every project has to be on
OpenSolaris and every
developer has to give away their chance to design, how popular is it?
For me, the projects which really engage the open source model are like
the OpenSolaris Project:
NFS RDMA transport update and performance analysis
(http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/nfsrdma/).
Here you have essentially a program manager at Sun helping an outside
group develop with
OpenSolaris. And a little known fact is that with NFSv4, Sun did the
same thing with another
group to push out a reference implementation on Linux.
A problem with this project is that it is low key - the discussions are
probably on closed mailing lists.
I think the model is going to take time to fully develop.
Later,
Tom
