I agree.

My interaction with Sun has always been good.

You don't make conclusions on one person's experience , but I feel sad to see
Sun pointed out like that when they do provide some great service to the
community.

I would have preferred a talk made on the positive aspects (how to foster
your community), with references to projects properly managed. And I would
have personally given Sun as a reference, in particular with Hudson (a
popular continuous integration / build server) which has a tremendous
community.

Oh, and I forgot to mention in my list of positive interactions with Sun folks that I ran into a guy who hacks the OpenSolaris installer in a coffeeshop the other night and when I told him about the awesome "apt-clone" hack that the Nexenta folks have written he asked me to put him in touch with them in order to share code. Long live the wonderful positive tradition of collegial sharing and peer review!
