The spirit of the community sourcing model is that you join the community, get access to the code, obey the rules, follow the compatibility tests, and don't abuse the trademarks. Bill compared Sun's community licensing strategy to the Visa model, where the various organizations providing credit cards to customers must interoperate with the Visa organization and follow their licensing terms to utilize the trademark. Apparently Bill enjoyed the meeting as much as we did, as he stayed way beyond his intended departure time answering questions for a good hour. Our Next Meeting Our next meeting will be on Sun's Jiro initiative and how it can unify the management of storage across the enterprise. Other meetings that are in the works include one on managing spam, DNS, and more on Jini.
