Sun Software CTO and Distinguished Engineer Bob Brewin shares his thoughts on what open source Java technology means for Sun, developers, and customers


Welcome back, Sun Inner Circle readers. Last month, I discussed one of my top concerns as CIO of Sun — security. This month, I plan to cover some recently announced big news at Sun by helping readers evaluate the monumental impact of Sun’s decision to release its implementation of the Java platform to the open source developer community.

Sun has already stated its irrevocable commitment to open source its entire software portfolio. In the past, Sun has demonstrated its resolve toward achieving this goal with its impressive roster of open source projects, including OpenSolaris OS, NetBeans software, OpenOffice, GlassFish and Project Looking Glass to name a few. Now, with the decision to open source Java technology, Sun is not only the largest provider of open source software, but also the biggest contributor to both the free software and GPL communities.
