Hell, If They Won't Come Willingly Then Buy 'em: Sun

Now proposing to pay developers to work on OpenSolaris, GlassFish, OpenJDK, OpenSparc, NetBeans and OpenOffice

According to Simon Phipps' blog - he's Sun's chief open source officer - Simon's headed to India to announce the new multi-year award program Friday in Bangalore at FOSS.IN.

He calls the purse "substantial."

Sounds kinda loosey-goosey. He says Sun will work "with the communities involved to develop the approach that works best.

He says he's announcing it in India "because that's where I expect the greatest open source community growth to come from in the near future…If we can play a part in catalyzing the emergence of India as a key international open source powerhouse, the effect on the software industry will be huge."

Yes, and maybe Sun has a cleaner slate in India.

What a strange article. Pure opinion, no factual content at all. But it is presented as if you're saying things that everyone knows to be true. But that's not the case at all. Maybe facts are not included because they would show that your opinions are false? I can't think of any other reason.

Another article without content. Sun bashing. Nothing more.

Sun has contributed more to open source than any other company by far. Number two is IBM and they don't even come close to the volume of Sun's contributions.

Stop writing this drivel. You're wasting bits.

Sun, which has not exactly rallied the open source community around it - for all its belated overtures - is now proposing to pay developers prize money to work on OpenSolaris, GlassFish, OpenJDK, OpenSparc, NetBeans and OpenOffice. According to Simon Phipps' blog - he's Sun's chief open source officer - Simon's headed to India to announce the new multi-year award program Friday in Bangalore at FOSS.IN.
