Thanks to both of you and the other +1'ers. I accept. Here is my disclosure
of interests (gratuitously copying AlanC's template :-)
1. I am an employee of Sun Microsystems, Inc. in the Solaris engineering
organization. I have asked for and received permission from my director
to run for the OGB. My employment contract constrains me to act in a
manner which I believe to be in the best interests of Sun, but as I see
Sun's interests and OpenSolaris' interests being joined at the hip, I do
not see this as presenting a problem.
2. I am the technical lead of the OS/Networking ("ON") consolidation.
3. I was formerly the lead of the Network Auto-Magic ("NWAM") project, and
still occasionally consult with its members.
4. I am one of the core contributors (that term would be the OpenSolaris
equivalent, though such a formal term is not used there) of the Sendmail
Consortium (sendmail.org).
