It may sound naive, but to me OpenUP looks like a solution looking for a
problem.
There are already many excellent agile and formal methodologies out there.
What development teams need is integration of these methodologies into
tools they use daily, not another new methodology created by methodology
high-priests. Jazz (Team Concert) is a great example of such a tool.
It would be even better if IBM just open sources RUP, so we don't spend
any more time coming up with a new open source methodology.
We may just have to accept the bitter reality that after two years (of
marketing and promotion) there is not enough interest in OpenUp for a
genuine community to form around it.
