now that's official, i guess i don't have to search for news articles about 
opensolaris future.

So Long OpenSolaris :-(

Dan Roberts, Director of Solaris Product Management surprised attendees by 
stating that the OpenSolaris brand was going away. Although the name itself 
won’t continue, the source code will continue to be open and available to the 
developer community.

What Oracle is doing here, he said, is simplifying its naming conventions. “We 
are going to focus everything around Solaris 11 to keep it simple,” said 
Roberts. “There will no longer be a separate brand called OpenSolaris.”

He stressed that Oracle will continue to work with the Linux community on the 
open-source version of OpenSolaris, as well as Oracle Linux and its Red Hat 
Compatible Linux. “While we have changed the way we will work with the 
community, Solaris will remain open source and the source code will be made 
available to customers.”
