Sun – Kleber Carvalho

Oracle vs Google

Hoje eu decidi me atualizar sobre essa briga juridica entre Oracle vs Google, já que cada dia mais o Android está presente na minha vida.

Um artigo da lista the must read é Oracle vs Google: entrevista com Bruno Souza. Depois de entender e ter um overwiew e tentar entender o que está acontecendo, aconselho a ler também.

Details from Oracle’s Complaint Against Google na OSnews

Quite the firestorm – Escrito pelo James Gosling.

Mas se você quer entender de uma vez what’s going on nessa batalhar entre Oracle e Google no que se refere ao Android, aconselho a ler My Thoughts on Oracle v Google por Charles Nutter.

GlassFish after Oracle acquisition

I have heard a lot of people worry about the future of Java, MySQL, Netbeans and GlassFish after that Oracle acquired Sun.

Today I read Adam Bien’s Weblog :

…Oracle GlassFish Server is part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware application grid portfolio and is ideally suited for applications requiring lightweight infrastructure with the most up-to-date implementation of enterprise Java, Java EE 6, and Java Web services. Oracle GlassFish Server complements Oracle WebLogic Server, which is designed to run the broader portfolio of Oracle Fusion Middleware and large-scale enterprise applications…”Read the whole paper.

I admire Sun. They created those awesome products such as Java, Netbean, GlassFish, VirtualBox and son on, however I have to admit that Sun business model wasn’t working.

If you still believe that Sun business model worked, answer me, why did shareholder approve to sale Sun to Oracle?

Do you sell your company or company share if it is still profit?

No, I don’t. I just sell it if I have losses.

I’m not concerned about the future of Java, MySQL, Netbeans and GlassFish, however I make sure that Oracle will change the business model behind of these products.

I advise Oracle to keep up the open source communities that maintain these products so beloved by developers and open source enthusiast; however Oracle need to profit through these products. To keep an open source product alive, they need to spend money.

How much does IBM spend to keep Geronimo community active? There are a couple of IBM employees working on this open source project.

How much did Sun spend to keep GlassFish or Netbeans community active? There were a couple of Sun employees working on this open source project too.

How much will Oracle spend to keep GlassFish or Nebeans community push on? There are many Sun-Oracle employees working on this open source project too.

In a successful manner open source projects such as Eclipse, Linux, and so forth survive nowadays, because there are a lot of companies investing money, time, and resources in these products. For instance, a couple of IBM Rational products are based on Eclipse. How many companies release hardware and software products based on Linux?

All those companies that are investing in open source products are interested for some reason on these open source products, I can bet the reason is these open source products are helping their business model.

Open source products are helping their business model.

I think Oracle plans the same to GlassFish. The same that IBM does about Geronimo or WebSphere Application Server Community Edition (based on Geronimo).

The same that Red Hat does about its Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Fedora as well as SUSE pair does on SUSE Linux Enterprise and openSUSE.

I’m not worry about, since now Oracle GlassFish Server is part of the Oracle Fusion Middleware application grid portfolio. As Java developer and Architect I really support that Oracle and IBM offer for purchase their application servers and spread their Java portfolio.

I really want that Oracle to keep up the open source communities that maintain these products so beloved by developers and open source enthusiast, and also improve them (products and communities)

What will Oracle’s Planned Acquisition of Sun Mean for Java

Whilst Sun Microsystems and Oracle are hailing Oracle’s purchase of Sun as a huge boost for Java many in the community are not so sure, wondering what kind of control Oracle will seek to exert over the platform. Continue reading it here.

Oracle Wants To Be The Apple Of The Enterprise, But It Just Became IBM

Larry Ellison has always wanted to be the Steve Jobs of the enterprise. With this morning’s announcement that Oracle will buy Sun Microsystems for $7.4 billion, he took a big step towards making Oracle more of a soup-to-nuts provider of enterprise technology. With Sun, he will now be able to build and package together everything from chips and servers to operating systems, Java middleware, databases, and enterprise applications. Continue reading it here.

Oracle to put Java at its heart

Boy, it sure was polite of Sun and Oracle to wait until the day I got back from my vacation to announce their merger, wasn’t it? I fulminated gloomily about this possibility before I left, but now that I’ve spent a day absorbing the news, I’m … slightly less gloomy. Continue reading it here.

Oracle’s Sun buy: Ellison praises Solaris, Java

Oracle CEO cites Java, Solaris as key components of acquisition.

Oracle may have decided to buy Sun Microsystems because it was worth far more to the database market leader than it was to IBM. It’s not a question of the price — at $7.4 billion, Oracle didn’t agree to pay much more than what IBM reportedly was considering. But Oracle may have more use for Sun’s technology than IBM ever did.
