OpenSolaris falls, Illume arises
In recent days has shown selfless Oracle for the future of OpenSolaris, which has not sat well with the community. Failing that Oracle's response to community concerns, some developers from Nexenta Illume has created the project.
It involves using all possible open source Solaris, and create an open source replacement for pieces that are not. This creates a base operating system, not to create a new distribution, but to serve as the basis for current projects based on OpenSolaris (Nexenta, BeleniX, etc).
Initial goals include being able to develop Illume from the operating system itself, be completely open source, binary compatibility with Solaris, not conflict legal users have no business premises, and eventually be the basis for other distributions.
