SUN公司主席Scott McNealy对红旗2000开源贡献的致谢信

　　今天，看到了陆首群主席在博客上发布的《Red Office是自主创新的商业软件》后，想起了SUN公司主席在2007年6月曾给我发过一封致谢信，大意是感谢我和我们公司在开源和开放标准方面的立场与贡献。特原文公开，中文部分是为了阅读方便我自己现做的翻译，供大家参考。此封邮件后，SUN先后派了三个工程师到我公司进行开源和技术方面的培训和辅导，我们公司也曾在2008年派遣了两位工程师到德国汉堡进行了为期一月的免费培训和辅导。我稍后再转发几篇原红旗2000开源部总监成修治几篇关于贡献源代码过程的文章，供有志于开源的人士参考。

   要参与开源社区，并进行贡献，最终能得到社区的全面认可，这是一个非常长期工作的过程。需要激情，更需要耐心。

Subject: Open Office Community

Dear Mr. Hu,

I have learned that your company, RedFlag Chinese 2000, has decided to

contribute back to the open office community and I congratulate RedFlag

Chinese 2000 for being the very first company in China to do that. I am

glad that Sun along with openoffice.org will be able to assist your

company in contributing to the open source community.

我已经知道你们公司，红旗中文2000，已经决定贡献自己的成果到OpeOffice社区，我特此祝贺红旗中文2000公司成为向开源社区贡献成果的最早的中国公司。我很高兴SUN公司会和OpenOffice.org一起来协助你们来向开源社区贡献源代码。

I understand that my team in China is getting a lot of support from you

and your company in promoting Open Document Format (ODF) in China, and I

would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support. Sun is

very committed in both open source and open standards, and it's always

nice to have partners who share the same vision and passion.

我也知道我们在中国的团队在推广开放文档格式ODF方面得到了你和你公司很大的支持，我特借此机会向你致谢。SUN在开放源代码和开放标准方面非常执着，也总是能在此方面遇到观点相同并充满激情的合作伙伴。

As we have already had great experience partnering in the past, I would

like to propose another collaboration. I would like to propose that you

or your company consider taking advantage of Sun's other open source

technology such as Solaris, Java, JES, and Netbeans. I understand that

you have already used Java extensively in your product, and your product

can run on Solaris. However, have you considered shipping a Solaris

version? If you are interested, I am sure that our StarOffice team in

Germany will be able to give you some guidance and assistance. This is

just one example of how we can work even closer; there are many other

collaboration models that we can explore. With open source, the possibilities

are unlimited.

基于我们过去合作经历，我希望我们能进行其他项目的合作。我愿意建议你和你的公司能在SUN的其他开源项目如Solaris，Java，JES以及Netbean上进行有益的技术合作。我知道你们一直在自己的产品中使用了Java，而且你们的产品（注：指RedOffice）能在Solaris上运行。那么，你们能否考虑推出一个（RedOffice的）Solaris版本？如果你感兴趣，我相信我们在德国的StarOffice团队会给你们一些指导和帮助。当然，这只是我们可以更紧密合作的一个例子，我们还可以探索其他更多的合作模式。在开源领域，机会是无限的。

Last but not least, I applaud you for your leadership in open source and

thanks in advance for your contribution to the open source community.

最后，我要对你在开源领域的领导力喝彩，并对你对开源社区的贡献表示感谢。

Best regards,

Scott McNealy
