Oracle cierra OSUM Community!

OSUM Community va ser clausurado este primero de diciembre, para el que no sabe OSUM Community era la apuesta de Sun por la comunidad educativa; era una plataforma web 2.0 con el objetivo de impartir cursos y que las universidades se sumen.

Con la muerte de Sun el proyecto se fue entibiando hasta perder fuerza, ahora Oracle quiere deshacerse de ese proyecto y quiere lanzar un sitio Oracle Academy en 2013.

Lo malo de esta movida es que no se va archivar nada de la comunidad OSUM, es decir lo van a eliminar completamente. La verdad es que me parece muy poco profesional, a una empresa como Oracle no le cuesta nada migrar foros, usuarios, post, etc. Otra movida mala de Oracle!!

Les dejo el mail que me llego con la noticia:
