1. I am in no way contractually related to SMI in persona The company I own sells SUN gear as the main platform for our all Open Source based voice solutions and I have been a user of Solaris since long before the current SysV based stuff. 2. I am responsible for maintaining the freeswitch project on solaris (www.freeswitch.org) working on SFE packages for freeswitch, openser, freeradius 2 (there seems to be old version for freeradius1) , freeradius-client. I am a core member of the freeswitch OSS software project and am taking part in many other voice related software projects. 3. I am working on a port of sipXecs to solaris (www.sipfoundry.org) 4. I actively try to take part and help on any opensolaris related event I manage to get to (latest was fosdem where I was trying to help from time to time by explaining things to peole coming to the booth, next one will be LinuxTag and probably tech days in St. Petersburg) 5. I am known in other open source projects as the unchangable solaris fan ;) So evangelism is my daily bread. Sometimes probably resulting in people having enough of listening or reading about it :) 6. I work somewhat successfully on convincing hardware vendors related to my voice stuff to provide drivers for solaris/opensolaris managed with 2 yet, lets see how many more I can get there (still wroking on them to do SPARC too, they just did i86). So I guess in the OGB I would represent: My visions and opinion as a long years Solaris user My visions and opinion as a software porter My visions and opinion as a SMI reseller My visions and opinion as a Evangelist It'll be the whole package of all those, probably often enugh completely not compatible opinions :) I would like to mostly push for more advocacy, more visibility and a better presentation to the outside world. Even en lieu of the current discussions I think we have a fantastic project but need to work hard to make people aware of it. Regading the current discussions my only comment would be that I think that SMI is an essential partof the community and splitting it into non SMI community and SMI seems pretty strange to me. I will vote and push and lobby (either as OGB or not) for a strong and growing communication exchange between all community parts (yes I think we non SMI people suck in communicating to SMI as well). So much about me .. back to work cheers Michal -- -- Michal Bielicki CEO http://www.voiceworks.pl/ Voice Works Sp. z o.o. z siedziba w Warszawie przy ulicy Polnej 46/14, 00-644 Warszawa, Polska wpisana zostala do rejestru przedsiebiorcow prowadzonego przez Sad Rejonowy dla M.ST.Warszawy w Warszawie, XII Wydzial Krajowego Rejestru Sadowego pod numerem KRS 0000257259.
