We should definitely get that fixed.
Agreed. (When we ratified sysadmin recently, we basically followed the new community inititiation procedure, so just need 3 members to nominate the initial list of core contributors.) > While certain observability projects (DTrace, MDB, etc) are large enough > to warrant a community of their own, I don't think the entirety of the > observability community is subsumed by other communities on OpenSolaris. > For example, we currently sponsor the jkstat and network MIB projects. > So personally I would like to see it continue, and we should set up the > appropriate infrastructure (core contributors, facilitator, etc) to do > so.

I would suggest also Alexander Kolbasov, Chad Mynhier, and Brendan Gregg are worthy of consideration. I'm not sure all the above are active in the observability community (as opposed to, say, the dtrace community). > And does anyone want to step up to be the facilitator for the community? I would be happy to take that on if asked. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
