Episode Overview

Sun Studio and GNOME

Two More Ways Sun Participates in the Open Source Community

Open source month on SDNtv continues this week with a look at Sun Studio and Sun’s participation in the GNOME Project.

Most software development at Sun utilizes Sun Studio, according to Kuldip Oberoi, product line manager for Sun developer tools. It’s also the preferred development environment for several key Sun-supported open source projects, including OpenSolaris and OpenJDK.

If you are a developer and a gamer, be sure to check out the new, online Temple of the Sun game, which offers cash prizes of up to $5,000. If you are running the Solaris platform today, download a free, unrestricted copy of Sun Studio today. If you want to get started with Solaris, download or request a free DVD shipment of Solaris Express, Developer Edition (which includes NetBeans 5.5 and Sun Studio 11 software). In addition, check out the next-generation IDE, tools, and parallelizing compilers in Sun Studio Express.

In this week’s second segment, Sun employee Glynn Foster explains how Sun contributes to the GNOME Project, an open source community and desktop environment for Solaris, Linux, and other platforms.

Check back next week for a look at three open databases: PostgreSQL, Apache Derby, and Java DB.

This is a great post, but it does not yield some of the out-of-the-box issues. This type of strategy is very expensive to take on from a client’s point of view. Considerable research must be conducted and in many cases, money has to be paid for quality ‘under-the-radar’ links.

I mean with all Google’s algorithms, how difficult would it be for them to depress the rankings of a site by doing a simple search for sites that link to programs like LinkDIY, Telalinks, et. al?
