My understanding is that Sun is finally looking for help from the open source |
| 9 |
community with how to open source Java in a way that works for everyone. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
On a related topic, I do not work for Sun but I am one of the community leaders |
| 12 |
for Sun's http://java.net open source development site. During the past year, |
| 13 |
we developed a Gentoo-based LiveCD which we are planning to call a "Java |
| 14 |
distribution" and as part of this we have been in contact with the people at |
| 15 |
Sun who are responsible for the new Linux license. I have also met with these |
| 16 |
people this week at JavaOne. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Have developers from the gentoo-java group been selected yet to act as Gentoo's |
| 19 |
representatives to Sun for the new Linux distribution license? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If not, I would be willing to help any representatives get connected with the |
| 22 |
people in Sun who are responsible with interfacing with the Linux distros. |
