Top Solaris developer flees Oracle

“Greg Lavender, the lead developer in charge of the Solaris
operating system at Oracle, has left the company. And the
OpenSolaris Governing Board, which is supposed to steer the open
source version of Solaris, is thinking about disbanding because
Oracle has not had any contact with the board for the past six
months.

“As one El Reg reader so succinctly and brilliantly put it in a
comment in a recent story about the wall of silence Oracle has
built up around Solaris and OpenSolaris: “No more Solaris. Now it’s
SoLarry’s.”

“We caught wind of Lavender’s departure from Oracle in the
comment section of that story, where one commenter said Lavender
had left Oracle the prior week, making it around the middle of
June.”
