I am mightily pissed, but not surprised. Larry didn't just kill SUN he clubbed it to death, luckily opensource will keep the best alive
For those unaware, Oracle laid off ~ all Solaris tech staff yesterday in a classic silent EOL of the product.https://twitter.com/webmink/status/904067176377831424 …

Larry might not have loved it, but Jon S and possibly others at Sun also played a huge part in the demise.

Not really.
@OpenJonathan did his best; the fail happened before he was appointed. Hints here:https://meshedinsights.com/2017/09/03/oracle-finally-killed-sun/ … -
IMHO, slightly too much focus on market-share over revenue. Admittedly a difficult balance to strike.

I think it would have worked but for the Wall Street crash. Look at the money Forgerock is making.

Thanks. The social network group I am following suggests they will do just fine.

I can't find the news on this at all

That's the Oracle way. Plenty of foreshadowing like https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Oracle-More-ZFS-Solaris-Layoffs … but the proof is in reports from individuals.

Ugh. That's pretty shitty in general

That's a great question that I would also be interested to have answered.

I'm out of Fujitsu Services 10yrs, was influential in our moving off Sun to Fuj metal in early 00’s. Sorry, no current contacts to explore
