Rivalry between different derivatives of OpenSolaris has already begun, two weeks after Sun Microsystems' initial code release.
OpenJDK is set to benefit from Sun's lesson with OpenSolaris that just because a project's governance is "dreamworthy", it may not suit developers.
Sun Microsystems has revealed the outline of a project code-named Indiana, an effort to package up the OpenSolaris operating system into a convenient and usable "distribution" in the mould of Linux.
A Sun Microsystems desktop engineer has outlined plans to release the code for the company's Java Desktop System (JDS) environment and integrate it better with OpenSolaris.
Sun Microsystems' developers have responded furiously to claims the company's decision to open-source Solaris was a mere public relations stunt.
Sun Microsystems' xVM virtualisation efforts are getting louder and louder.
Sun Microsystems is about to take the next step in its plan to refurbish the reputation of its Solaris operating system in the eyes of a small but crucial group: programmers.
After a year on the job, Sun's CEO says the company is relevant again but still has problems to fix. In this interview, he admits losing sight of the developer community towards the end of the 1990s, and making what he described as a very bad decision about the company's commitment to Solaris.
Company president Jonathan Schwartz has ordered an open-source makeover. Can it put Sun back on the right course after continuous periods of revenue decline?
Industry watchers claim Sun Microsystems is playing a dangerous game with its decision to position Solaris as open source -- a move which will see it go head to head with Linux.
Simon Phipps, chief open source office at Sun and OpenSolaris board member discusses the issues in trying to impose a governance model on open source projects.
