This was a letter I recently wrote to Sun's head of global communications, Russ Castronovo, after reading his interview with Chuck Talk on orangecrate.com, and then reading the ongoing pro-/anti-Mono arguments over at PlanetGnome. Now that Sun seems to be on the brink of making the decision to open-source Java (or not to), I thought it would be an appropriate time to take action.

the discussion at PlanetGnome is about to ingrate Mono or Java as part of Gnome, I don't think somebody would like to have Java as part as Gnome, technically Java is simply not good enough.
