Tuesday March 27, 2007 Ratified and Elected
I'm delighted to see that the OpenSolaris community has ratified the Constitution and elected a new OGB. As I have said before, I regard the Constitution as a starting point, not as tablets of stone, and some of the new OGB has already asserted a need to evolve it. I'm looking forward to the community vote on their improvements. Congratulations to the new OGB, act wisely and inclusively guys (and it's all guys).

LiveMink: Roy Fielding
I was honoured to be asked to give the opening keynote at the first ever OpenSolaris Developer Conference over in Berlin. The other keynote speaker was Roy Fielding, who like me is on the OpenSolaris Governing Board. Roy is scary smart, having written the Apache License, coined the term REST and defined the HTTP 1.1 protocol.
Roy was distracted by his upcoming keynote so we kept the interview really short, but his comments about the Waka protocol he's working on (a successor to HTTP) will be interesting to those without the patience to listen to the full Udell interview. Listen on!

"And when we did actually change the licence, IBM was really upset. They wanted a licence that said they could do whatever they damn well pleased ... They wanted us to give them everything and for them to give nothing back."
