Hi Richard,
>True, but I don't think Sun's Open Source views and culture just disappeared :)
I understand it, and maybe we could contact directly some people from Glassfish team in informal manner and ask them some questions :) For example in the past I had contact a couple times with Jason Lee. He is kind of guy open to discussion and he is responsible for Glassfish's Admin panel and some other stuff also. So if we will have some questions to Glassfish team I could try to contact him. By the way it was a funny story how I the first time had contact with him. But I'm not that good storyteller to bother you with this kind of story.
>Well, I always believe more in what people 'do' than 'say'>So let's test it out :)
You don't have to do it just check out the link:

"Screven: The first thing that I want to point out is that Oracle doesn’t really have an open source-specific strategy. What we have is an overall company strategy: to deliver complete, open, integrated solutions to our customers."
As you can see I was absolutely right, they just don't have any strategy in this regard :)Watching the video about how many people are using MySql I was just wondering why they couldn't effort to create decent community based SQL manager as alternative to MySQL browser. Maybe they didn't have a decent awarding schema at this time :)
One more thing that could be useful for us is to read the Seth Godin blog:
http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2010/07/the-theory-of-the-case.html Looks like he indeed scanning internet for his name and decided to commit to our discussion :)
Almost forget, I have convinced one developer to sign for Fishcat program. But he didn't receive any confirmation by email after he finished the registration form. I just wondering if registration form is working now. And how long it takes to send confirmation.His name is Alexander Makarenko. In mean time I have said him to wait until tomorrow.Maybe he already got the message, but I'm not sure.
Best regards,Vladimir

Again I doubt that Oracle has defined clear policy on it.After all they never had a similar program in place.
True, but I don't think Sun's Open Source views and culture just disappeared :)
Some thing for you :

It would be interesting to know how Richard "tackling" this question :)
Well, I always believe more in what people 'do' than 'say'
So let's test it out :)
regards
Richard.
