OpenDarwin Shutting Down

OpenDarwin was originally created with the goal of providing a development environment for building and developing Mac OS X sources as well as developing a standalone Darwin OS derivative. OpenDarwin was meant to be a development community and a proving ground for fixes and features for Mac OS X and Darwin, which could be picked up by Apple for inclusion in the canonical sources.

OpenDarwin has failed to achieve its goals in 4 years of operation, and moves further from achieving these goals as time goes on. For this reason, OpenDarwin will be shutting down.

Proyek OpenDarwin yang dibuat kurang lebih untuk menjembatani (memberikan "resource") para pengembang open source untuk berinteraksi dengan produk dari Apple (Mac OSX), dan memudahkan para pengembang yang tertarik untuk dapat merubah, membangun dan mendistribusikan perubahan operating system yang mereka buat nantinya.

Salah satu produk yang sangat terkenal (sering denger) adalah DarwinPorts yang berfungsi untuk mempermudah proses installasi berbagai software opensource dikalangan Darwin OS (OpenDarwin, Mac OS X and Darwin).

Tetapi untuk beberapa waktu kedepan situs ini akan tetap hidup sampai waktu yang tidak ditentukan, begitu pernyataan resmi dari pihak Opendarwin

Project admins for all active projects have been notified, and we will be working with them to provide as seamless a transition to their new homes as possible. We don't want to boot anyone off, we will be operating the machines as usual for several months, until everyone has had a chance to move elsewhere.

hum, gimana nih jim ? (sambil plarak plirik jim yang pernah ngobrolin "darwin port" di-telinga-ku)
