Sun covers a featured story today about the growing OpenSolaris community. Genesi is mentioned and Bill and Raquel are quoted. From the story: "We predict that in the long run [the] OpenSolaris [project] will contribute more to the IT universe than [Microsoft] Windows or GNU/Linux," say pilot members Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck, general managers of Genesi, a leading provider of PowerPC-based computing products. "It will take time, but backed up by a consistent corporate strategy, Java [technology], the Sun Grid, and a pantheon of bloggers, Sun is destined 'to boldly go where no one has gone before.'"
