OpenSolaris Governing Board Closing Shop?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the so-it-comes-to-this dept.

echolinux writes "Frustrated by Oracle's refusal to interact with the OpenSolaris community or speak with the OpenSolaris Governing Board, the OGB has issued an ultimatum to Oracle: designate a liaison to the OGB by August 16th or the board will 'take action at the August 23 meeting to trigger the clause in the OGB charter that will return control of the community to Oracle.'"

    I find it really depressing to find the Oracle logos all over the Sun site and Java downloads.

    Yeah. It really makes me worry about Java's future. Is there any other comparable cross-platform language that runs in a managed environment?

    C#^H Mono? Really, you have to be more specific. What are you requirements?
