But Patrick...
ForgeRock, what does "open source" mean to you, if it is being hosted by someone that saboutaged other people's careers for his own. Someone that stole SUN's clients, SUN's partners and his own little group of contractors who he had been paying with SUN's money..
If open source is about the sewer principle, shit floats up, then all i can do is applaud your enthusiasm.
The emperor has no clothes.

J: I am sure you are on the right track! Regarding build 9 though, you are certainly aware that the original branch for exp9 may not have all the bug fixes. My understanding is that "some" fixes are in the main branch and that a little bit of release engineering work is necessary to get a clean and complete version of exp 9. But I am sure, you are aware of that ;-)

wizzysog: Forge as in the place with hammers and anvils where you make things :-)

Patrick: nice writeup, it's all still very quiet concerning Oracle and OpenSSO.

So regarding build 9, everything was there and ready except the binaries. You'll have to ask Oracle why they didn't release build 9 when it was ready, but I think the answer is that their strategic AM product is Oracle Access Manager, not OpenSSO. What we have done is to verify and build the long-awaited build 9 and to make this available on www.forgerock.com.

Regarding engineering resources, our team are busy getting infrastructure in place so don't be expecting commits tonight :-) but just to be clear: they will be coming. We believe OpenSSO was a great product and that it will have a bright future with ForgeRock as an active sponsor, and for us this means actively developing the product, providing documentation, marketing and of course supporting it for those who need support.

More info to follow - interesting times!

Do you have a link for Oracle's announcement that it is going to move functionality from OpenSSO into Oblix? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks!
