These two pieces were my biggest take-away:
Yes, there will be a JavaOne Conference in 2010. JavaOne will be co-located with Oracle Develop during Oracle OpenWorld in San Francisco from September 19-23, 2010. You may experience and register for JavaOne as a standalone conference just as before, or you can attend Oracle Develop 2010 and/or Oracle OpenWorld as well; it's your choice. Furthermore, unlike in recent years, JavaOne will focus solely on Java Technology and its associated ecosystem. You're welcome to attend Oracle Develop and Oracle OpenWorld to gain insight into specific products. As usual, all Java users and partners are invited to submit papers and to attend JavaOne.
Project Kenai, however, will be discontinued for public use.
A note from their facebook page:
ReplyDeleteHello fellow Kenai.com members,
It's with a sad heart that we have to announce that the Kenai.com domain will be shutdown as part of the consolidation of project hosting sites now that Sun is a wholly owned subsidiary of Oracle.
Project Kenai has always existed as two different things: Kenai the infrastructure, and Kenai the website (Kenai.com). While it has come time to close the domain (Kenai.com), the infrastructure (which is already used under NetBeans.org) will live on to support other domains in the future.
With this decision from Oracle to close the Kenai.com domain, it is now time for project owners to begin the process of migrating their repositories and content over to other locations. A few things to note as you begin this process:
>> More then one forum thread is going on at this time discussing alternative sites for hosting projects; this one appears to be the most active:
http://kenai.com/projects/help/forums/general/topics/2406-Alternatives-for-Kenai-com-
>> For Source repositories, SVNSync can be used for Subversion. Git, and Hg are pretty simple by nature to move.
>> Wiki source code is available to all project admins and can be cut and paste into any other site that supports the Mediawiki syntax.
>> For Issue Trackers and Forum content, we are looking at ways to make that content available, but we have nothing at this time in place. If you can come up with a way to move the content on your own, proceed as such. Please do not wait for us.
The website will be closed to the creation of new projects in the next week. The complete shutdown of the site and the removal of the domain will be completed in the next 60 days (April 2nd 2010). This should provide ample time for all projects to be moved to a new home of the project owners choice.
If you have a private project (only available to Sun internal projects) those projects will continue to exist. We will send information about how to access those in a separate notice.
Any public projects that remain after the 60 day limit (April 2nd 2010) will be removed when the site is turned off.
If you have questions or concerns, please e-mail them to kenai-adminsuncom. We are still trying to determine what to do with our Kenai Facebook Group, and will e-mail all group members at the appropriate time.
It has been an amazing ride, and a great pleasure to personally work with so many of you over the last year or so. From the entire Project Kenai Team I want to thank you for all of the feedback, criticisms, and support over our time together.
With much respect,
The Project Kenai Team
