Jordan Hubbard moves to new OpenDarwin.org
bootc writes "Last week we heard the news that Jordan Hubbard was leaving the FreeBSD Core Team. I received an email about the new OpenDarwin.org web site and had a look around, just to find that our friend Jordan was member of the OpenDarwin Core Team!" Apple has consolidated its Open Source web site, including Darwin, under its developer site, while the Internet Software Consortium is hosting the independent OpenDarwin.org, which will develop OpenDarwin with the developer community and collaborate with Apple to merge OpenDarwin technologies into Darwin and Mac OS X.
Is it just me or is this the first story with the strange, new fangled slashdot logo in the corner? I dont recall seeing it.
In reference to your sig, me too. We must be the only 2 in the world (Taco's just faking it)
having good knowledge of a girlfriend is not good enough ... unless ... :O)
- where are you on the theory-reality continuum?
You are demonstrably a troll, and here's why:
-Apple's internal stuff hadn't lost credibility; we were going crazy waiting for Copland (which died of a very painful case of runaway second-system effect).
-Rhapsody did ship, as OS X Server. The only problem was that it was realized during the development process that not giving developers an easy way to convert Classic apps to OS X was Not A Good Idea, and the consumer release had to be delayed to create Carbon. Somewhere in there Gil Amelio got bounced and Steve Jobs reclaimed full control.
-Tru64 Unix is Mach-based as well. More to the point, Solaris is Unix-branded, and though Linux isn't Dennis Ritchie considers it part of the family. By that standard, if it quacks like a duck...
-The mention of Linux userfriendliness is, to put it charitably, anachronistic in the context you're talking about.
Your understanding of history is faulty, your understanding of the present is not much better, and the only intelligent thing in your entire post is describing Microsoft's sales tactics as "slamming".
(Well, that and I find the term Macastrati a hysterically funny term for people who have come over to the Mac side because of Eunuchs^h^h^h^h^h^h^hUnix, though I'll leave it up to them of the world if they wish to accept it...)
