Sun's Project Kenai
Sun Microsystems has launched Project
Kenai, a hosting system for free software projects. This
announcement talks about why the company felt the need to create
another hosting service. "Kenai is a recognition by Sun that, as the
largest open source company in the world, we need to take control of our
own destiny. We need a place to nurture and grow our open source
communities that we ourselves can control; we need to demonstrate
credibility in building on top of more traditional LAMP/SAMP web stacks
(not just Java EE); and we need to show viability of Sun technologies and
hardware for next-generation web applications.
