Hi All,
my two cents: > > > *How easily can a new developer join the BeleniX project? > - We'll be moving to SFE.. where will the belenix sources be hosted? > - Are we setting up rules to give contributor status? > - Is there a need for a constitution for the belenix community? > > *Building BeleniX > - We had discussed checking the performance of a gcc-built belenix > prototype and going ahead with it.

But there is no problem in distributing binaries compiled from Sun Studio. How about we try a quick and dirty build of KDE4 on belenix? It already builds well on S10. I am upbeat about KDE4 because KBE ( the build system) is designed to work on S10, has very few requirements (it pulls all the stuff it needs from the net ) and should work without a problem I would be interested in trying this out. Since the build system is being migrated to .spec files, we would end up with a scenario like ON ==> OpenSolaris X ==> OpenSolaris KDE ==> SpecFiles other Software ==> SFE Which would reduce effort required for maintenance , help us concentrate on the branding, look and feel and general end-user experience of belenix. How does this sound? Can I have a copy of the belenix sources in the next BOSUG meet? Let me try and build KDE4 on this. May be "borrow" a few Sabayon tricks for belenix? > > > *Website issues > - The website needs to be upgraded.

Belenix is of course a KDE based distribution. Can we sync up at the next BOSUG meet? I'd like to take the last Belenix build, put SunStudio and KBE on it and give KDE4 a try on Belenix. > > * Other topics?
