OpenSparc Project Taps Advisory Board, Sees Linux Momentum (IT Jungle)

IT Jungle reports that Sun has set up an advisory board for the OpenSparc project. "First up, Sun has created an independent OpenSparc advisory board, which includes two representatives from Sun as well as three other industry luminaries. "Just like any well-behaved open source project, we want to establish an independent advisory board," explains Fadi Azhari, director of marketing and business development for OpenSPARC. This board will steer the OpenSparc project and, after a 12-month period, it will create a permanent governance board for the project. The initial board members include Simon Phipps, chief open source officer at Sun, and David Weaver, a senior systems engineer on the Sparc T1 development efforts inside Sun."
