Red October Announcement
  Posted by pelegri in Sun

Sun just announced that Sun's entire server-side software portfolio will be free of charge and open source. This is internally known as Project Red October, after the fictional russian submarine in Tom Clancy's novel based on a typhoon class submarine. Read JL's blog for the why of the name. The deal includes Solaris 10, N1, Development Tools, and JES; it seems Sun is using the term Solaris Enterprise System for the whole thing. The response seems mostly positive. Some interesting blogs are from Juan Carlos Soto, Simon Phipps, and from JL himself. News reaction as of this posting includes Red Herring, The Street and ZDNet.

This week is FOSS.in, the Free and Open Source Software event at Bangalore. The event is happening at Bangalore Palace Grounds. The event used to be called Linux-Bangalore and hosted by a local linux user group, the event has metamorphosed this year to include the larger FOSS community. From what bloggers say, the event is very succesful. Bloggers include fossdotinblog, Binod, Navaneeth, Stephen and Shalini. Project GlassFish is represented, as is its use with NetBeans 5 to write some Java EE 5 applications. Here is a Flash Demo which seems to be based on the example described in Pavel's recent blog. The NetBeans side has a more polished Demo, as well as several other demos.

Jerome Dochez is the new engineering lead for GlassFish. Welcomes and happy memories from Carla and Eduardo and many others. Despite what Alexis says, this is not a french takeover of neither the project nor of California (and, in any case, the catalans were here first).
