Hey Candidates, (we really need to resurrect the election candidates alias again...)
As part of the election campaign that has officially started, can you please provide the following information as soon as possible - Name: Affiliation: Bio: (a few paragraphs) You can either provide this to ogb-discuss at opensolaris.org, add them to the existing tracking bugs on defect.opensolaris.org (Community > OGB > Nominations), blog it, or update your ID information on opensolaris.org. I will then organize a page similar to how Al collected the information last year and use it to the inform the members better on the election candidates. Additionally, Barton George (cc'd above) has gracefully agreed to interview the candidates this year through phone, as Simon did last year. If you would like to be interviewed by Barton on your election campaign, please get in touch with him directly and organize a time. He can do interviews over the phone. If any members would like to provide additional questions to the candidates that Barton can ask, reply to this thread. Finally, we will be organizing another priority poll during this election, with the same set of items as last year - o Deploy a public defect management system o Deploy a public Request To Integrate (RTI) system o Deploy a public code review facility on opensolaris.org o Reorganize the existing Community/Project organization o Deploy a public wiki on opensolaris.org. o Replace or remove Jive forum interface o Provide an x86/AMD64-based kernel/project build facility o Remove inactive Communities or Projects o Provide a SPARC-based kernel/project build facility o Replace opensolaris.org tools with an open source CMS or wiki o Eliminate reliability issues with opensolaris.org web pages Candidates should feel free to state their views, and priorities, with respect to these items in the election. Many thanks! Glynn (acting as OGB Secretary and election wrangler)
