OpenSolaris board 解散了

Oracle不打算给Open Solaris留条生路，Open Solaris从此走进历史。转发个帖子纪念一下。

When the OpenSolaris Governing Board issued their ultimatum to Oracle on July 12, few thought it would have the desired effect of saving OpenSolaris. The board sent a message that if Oracle didn't start to show some interest in OpenSolaris by August 23, they would disband and leave OpenSolaris without leadership and guidance. That day arrived and the board did as they promised.

Oracle had practically ignored OpenSolaris since its acquisition of Sun and its assets last year. The OpenSolaris board tried to continue work, but it became increasingly difficult as they wondered if their work was being wasted. So on July 12 the board issued their now famous "put up or quit" message. Most believed Oracle would allow this date to come and pass without reply, but they were wrong. Oracle did respond, just not the way anyone wanted.

The Illumos project was announced on August 3rd, an off-shoot of OpenSolaris, to safeguard code and provide a base for a fork should Oracle pull the plug. This step foreshadowed the inevitable and on August 13 Oracle announced that it would end all support and access to OpenSolaris effectively driving a stake into the heart of OpenSolaris and the governing board. So, it was with little doubt the board would have no choice but disband.

Thus it was a mere formality when the final OpenSolaris Board meeting was held to tie up loose ends and submit resignations. This last step confirms that OpenSolaris is no more.

RIP OpenSolaris, Long Live Illumos.

也不用这么快把。 咱也就靠这Solaris 系统挣口饭吃，应该至少能撑到我退休。

Solaris的竞争力还是很大的。

Open Solaris 是 Solaris吗?

rdcwayx

OpenSolaris (pronounced /ˈoʊ.pənsoːˈlaː.ris/) was an open source computer operating system based on Solaris created by Sun Microsystems, now a part of Oracle Corporation. It was also the name of the project initiated by Sun to build a developer and user community around the software. After the acquisition of Sun Microsystems, Oracle decided to stop releasing and discontinue the OpenSolaris distribution and the development model.[1] However following this a group of former OpenSolaris developers decided to "fork" the distribution and now development of an OpenSolaris based core OS (or what OpenSolaris would have been) continues under a new project by the community called Illumos. Illumos is basically OpenSolaris, but with non-free code replaced by free code and continued development/advancements by the community.
