Since Oracle in a way have been silent about the actual roadmap for opensolaris I have trying to fig ure things out by trying to read between the lines from any actions taken. for instance, this was said: "It's picking the Sun technologies that are commercializable and focusing on those, and ignoring those that are not. They are just science projects," said Ellison http://www.itnews.com.au/News/174797,ellison-scorns-schwartzs-leadership-of-sun.aspx I have to wonder which projects are not commercialiable and seen as science projects and will be ignored? anyway, one concern of my have been calmed knowing nexenta will contribute to opensolaris -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
