OpenSolaris not dead; might not get all new Solaris features

OpenSolaris not dead; might not get all new Solaris features

By Ryan Paul | Last updated a day ago

Oracle's assimilation of Sun is moving forward, but there are still some unanswered questions about what the database giant will do with Sun's diverse assortment of technologies. Some of Sun's more whimsical and esoteric offerings, such as the Java-based Project Wonderland virtual world platform, were swiftly sent to the chopping block.

Due to the absence of specific assurances from Oracle, Some members of the OpenSolaris community became concerned about the fate of the open source variant of Sun's UNIX platform. Some of the concerns were voiced in an open letter to Oracle that was published in February by OpenSolaris developer and evangelist Ben Rockwood. Oracle responded to those concerns last week during an OpenSolaris community IRC meeting. The company plans to continue moving OpenSolaris forward but might make some adjustments to the development model.

According to a report at Datamation that describes what transpired during the meeting, Solaris product manager Dan Roberts told the OpenSolaris community that Oracle intends to continue supporting the project. The upcoming OpenSolaris 2010.03 release is still on track for delivery. Although this is good news for OpenSolaris users and developers, there is still some uncertainty about the manner in which Oracle will manage the project. Roberts suggested that some new features might not be released as open source as Oracle begins investing heavily in Solaris development.
