Ian, To those people in the 'OpenSolaris Community' that do know a thing or two - we get it. Yet, in all societies you know that there is debate over past issues that need to be addressed whether negative or positive in impact.
So I'd just say, let those that have an issue or complaint be heard at least. I only say I think some people are not intentionally trying to be demeaning or degrading (I **really** hope not), just that they feel their past commens or inquiries fell on deaf ears beforehand so now they wish to vent this issue to those "willing" to listen and even care about those issues. This is the way it is in any community or society all over the world. Freedom of speech or expression from OpenSolaris community memebers -- but hopefully done with some respect and humility. Not dictatorship, but equality amongest peers and community. Is this not what the OpenSolaris developer Summit revealed as we sat amongest our peers and listened to frustrations and issues at hand?!? We do need to become more focused and document these issues so they can be addressed and hopefully not ignored. These issues may "pinch a few ears and step on toes" but I'd hope both the OGB and community/project leaders will at least take heed and try to appreciate the input. Do this and we may stay and stand united. Don't do this and things may end up like falling dominoes - one community member and user group at a time... ~ Ken Mays All right. I don't even know where to begin. Does it matter at all that the feedback outside this community to the idea that we're producing a binary distribution called OpenSolaris has almost universally been: "Duh. What took so long?" Does it matter that the initial feedback on the Developer Preview has been overwhelming positive, that so many more people in the world are talking about OpenSolaris--that the approach is WORKING? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
