OpenSolaris Communities are governed by the OpenSolaris Governing Board
(OGB). The OGB community cleanup proposal suggested creating a "Freeware"
community (name subject to better suggestions though) that merged the
"GNU Solaris" Community and hosted the SFW project & Companion project,
so a proposal from the communities here to do this will likely be easily
approved.

The CAB is replaced by the OGB now.

You ask your manager for permission first instead of telling him later
what you're doing? What a strange idea... 8-)
