Need advice on presenting an Initiative to Sun
I am exploring channels to present ideas to Sun for a new initiative. Does anybody know how to go about this process? I came across the Java Community Process page and initially thought of submitting a Java Specification Request(JSR), but only paying members can submit JSR's. Besides technically this is not a JSR so that would not be the appropriate channel anyway.
I am also reluctant to approach any third party member because the idea I have is really very simple, and I wouldn't want anyone to steal it from me sideline me the same way that Microsoft is known to have done with small companies/individuals. Does anybody have any information about Sun's reputation in this regard?
If this idea gets implemented, it could very well be Sun's answer to Microsoft's refusal to include Java in the XP operating system. Even though might sound very ambitious/premature to say this at this stage, the impact that it can create in the computing world can be as big as that created by Java itself.
Only serious replies please. Replies may also be sent to Initiative_2001@yahoo.com.
