Oracle's Open Source Identity Reborn At ForgeRock

Posted by Soulskill on Saturday February 19, 2011 @03:38AM from the don't-break-this-one dept.

darthcamaro writes "Oracle trashed a lot of former Sun technologies — not the least of which is Sun's open source identity platform which included OpenSSO and OpenDS. Now open source startup ForgeRock has taken those castoffs and created a business that has been running successfully for year. 'My personal goal here is to prove that you can have an open source business that is profitable,' said Simon Phipps, former chief open source officer at Sun and now chief strategy officer at ForgeRock. 'Having principles and having profit are not mutually exclusive.'"

Most companies have a whole department of those people. They're called "Project Managers."
