Support for other architectures (ARM, MIPS) have been recent targets. They've gotten a bit more into the swing of things, and released more updates. I have no idea about the state of it, since I don't use it, but it was apparently pretty rad before Oracle ruined the party. So the OpenSolaris guys split to make OpenIndiana.
The only Solaris you can get is the official one. Oracle stopped that soon after the buyout (same with ZFS, I hear). Sun used to provide OpenSolaris source for each of their builds. That's a bit subjective, though, and mostly my opinion. It's had a lot less innovation than it did before. But, in typical Oracle fashion, things that don't directly bring in money don't get staffed. It was actually a decent idea, since people didn't have to use the official blessed build to get USB2 support.

The next build was making the proprietary extensions easier to build and install, so you could build the OSS version and install proprietary USB2 support, among other things. The first build after the Oracle buyout was almost all Oracle rebranding. So there's still two forks of OpenOffice/LibreOffice. When only companies like IBM and Oracle were contributing to OpenOffice and everyone moved on, Oracle donated OpenOffice to the Apache foundation as a final dick move, instead of just giving the name to the LibreOffice guys.

It's a great example of how a professional FOSS project should be. The LibreOffice guys now regularly publish updates, statistics, reports, etc. Another renaissance was had, and many long-standing issues were fixed. So all the experts left and formed LibreOffice. Oracle responded by kicking the members out of the project, telling them they couldn't use the OpenOffice trademark, etc. Eventually, OpenOffice heads formed a foundation to start correcting some of these compounded issues. Oracle only paid attention to Fortune 500 contributors. No patches accepted, no timelines, no community communication. Sort of like the party when the house drops on the witch in the Wizard of Oz. There was a big renaissance after the move, with many new features added and many bugs fixed. There were several community blunders (not making source public, not accepting patches, long-standing bugs with existing patches, etc) that forced MySQL guys to move to MariaDB. MySQL was left to the roadside, usually, since it was considered a useless appendage that prevents people from using the Oracle DB software. Oracle conveniently deleted that when it came time to sue Google.
Previously, a Sun executive gave Google his verbal blessing in a blog on using Java in Android. It was a huge factor in the buyout, and many questions were asked over Java, its patents, and its suitability for litigation. Previous Sun employees said they could almost hear Oracle salivating over the prospect of suing Google with Java/JVM patents. It's the managers, sales team and executives who make Oracle what it is.īut yeah, Oracle is so focused on monetizing that they've burned a lot of bridges with FOSS: Keep in mind that if they're technical people, they're probably just good people who just happen to work on the Death Star. Especially before you go parroting it to employees. I'll give you what I know, but you should confirm this yourself. Who doesn't love to bitch about Oracle? It's everything you love to hate about Corporate America.
