The MySQL acquisition is quickly changing the perception of Sun's commitment to Open Source. Earlier today I pointed to new efforts in the Health and the Education industries, here are two more stories: |
• The University of Tokyo and Sun start
Research on HPC and Web-based Languages
• Sun and Chinese Government announce
OpenSPARC Collaboration.
Assessing all this, LinuxInsider says: Deals Cast Sun in Role of Open Source Standard Bearer.
I'm not surprised the deal is changing people's perceptions; but I am a bit surprised at how fast and how deeply it changes them. This is going to a be a very interesting year for us.

Sun recently revamped the pages where it describes its contributions to OpenSource Projects. The list is partial but still fairly representative; for example, of the communities related to GlassFish, Open ESB and OpenSSO are mentioned but OpenDS and Portal (needs a better name) are not. A full, up-to-date, list of these Middleware communities is at the GlassFish Wiki. I'm showing the OpenSPARC logo because I was a bit surprised the first time I heard about it, but it already shows results. Thanks to Marina for the Tip. |
