OpenDarwin Project Shutting Down

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hard-to-hit-a-moving-target dept.

niabok writes "According to a message sent by Rob Braun to the OpenDarwin mailing lists, the OpenDarwin project will be shutting down, saying that 'OpenDarwin has failed to achieve its goals in 4 years of operation, and moves further from achieving these goals as time goes on.' The project's servers will remain online long enough to allow developers to move their various projects elsewhere."

  1. Apple has been pissing me off by nukem996 · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I work with a lot of users and all they talk about is how great it is but when I mention Linux they respond with "But OS X is Linux" I try to tell them that OS X actually uses the BSD kernel with some parts of open source projects(mostly KDE) but they say "same thing" it really pisses me off(especially as a Linux user). I cannt imagine what the BSD developers/users feel. Anyway I always though the Apple commitment to open source was half-ass/shady. blah I just hope more Apple users smarten up and switch to Linux or a real BSD system.
