hello ... I'd like to request that the Advocacy Core Contributors consider granting Joey Guo and John Jiang Core Contributor status for their efforts to build community in China.
I've worked with Joey and John on various projects for two years. Their OpenSolaris operations in China are not only massive but they are getting serious results as well. The Beijing OSUG is active and growing and having large meetings, the university outreach programs are engaging tens of thousands of students and hundreds of professors, the Chinese coding contest project on opensolaris.org has been very successful, the China portal is growing in web traffic and translations, a local education portal was created for additional student outreach, a China version of the Starter Kit has been distributed, and OpenSolaris has been presented at multiple conferences in multiple cities. Joey and John are clear leaders in all of these areas. I recommend we recognize their leadership with grants of Core Contributor. Jim -- Community Manager, OpenSolaris http://blogs.sun.com/jimgris
