"Fork Yeah! The Rise and Development of illumos" by Bryan Cantrill

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-zRN7XLCRhc

He starts with a nice history of SunOS and Solaris, goes into open source, then midway through (33:00) he goes into a brutally honest rant against Oracle. Even better is that Oracle was one of the sponsors of the conference.

I cut my unix teeth in the early '90s, on SunOS, and Cantrill really keeps the history relevant.

But truly, his Oracle rant was one for the ages. And this from me where our system RDBMS is Oracle, sigh.
