It turns out that Oracle continued to ignore requests to appoint a liaison after the governing board's demands. This morning, the board unanimously passed a resolution to dissolve itself. Source code changes are no longer available, and it would appear that OpenSolaris and community involvement in the development of Solaris have been killed as rumored. We recently discussed a 'Spork' of OpenSolaris called Illumos. Perhaps now, this will have a chance at becoming a true fork."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F10%2F08%2F23%2F1733208%2FOpenSolaris-Governing-Board-Dissolves-Itself) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=OpenSolaris+Governing+Board+Dissolves+ Itself%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FajQNP8)
