The Future of OpenSolaris Revealed

ywlke writes "A few hours ago, an internal Oracle memo was leaked to the osol-discuss mailing list at opensolaris.org. It details Oracle's plans for Solaris and OpenSolaris; namely that OpenSolaris, the distribution, is dead. Solaris Express has come back from the grave, and source code will still be CDDL, but won't be released to the public until some time after it is incorporated into a binary release. What happens to the community now is anybody's guess." The full text of the memo is available on the mailing list, as well as apparent confirmation from an Oracle employee. That said, no official announcement has yet been made.pa href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fnews.slashdot.org%2Fstor y%2F10%2F08%2F13%2F1850232%2FThe-Future-of-OpenSolaris-Revealed" target="_blank" title="Share on Facebook"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png"/a a href="http://twitter.com/home?status=The+Future+of+OpenSolaris+Revealed%3A+ http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2Fcj1Exq" target="_blank" title="Share on Twitter"img src="http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png"/a/ppa href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/08/13/1850232/The-Future-of-OpenSolaris-Revealed?from=rss"Read more of this story/a at Slashdot./p pa href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/3VrzdPdada6ppx2eocQqGm0U6O0/0/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/3VrzdPdada6ppx2eocQqGm0U6O0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/abr/ a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/3VrzdPdada6ppx2eocQqGm0U6O0/1/da"img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/3VrzdPdada6ppx2eocQqGm0U6O0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/pimg src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Slashdot/slashdotDevelopers/~4/G3vqiZ8bcOg" height="1" width="1"/
