The OpenSolaris Governing Board (OGB) observed with dismay last week, Sun's failure to abide by the homepage review policy setup, and agreed upon in good faith by both the OGB and Sun Microsystems (via its OGB Liason) earlier this year. While it was subsequently removed a few days later, we are disappointed that Sun felt it necessary to breach its previous agreement. We, again, encourage Sun to be a good corporate citisen of the OpenSolaris community it helped create, and to work within the processes setup and agreed upon by both parties. short, and to the point. I'd really like to add something like, "To this end, we hope that Sun will be more transparent in opening up content editorship to trusted community members so that this incident won't be repeated in the future.", but that's my personal idea that should certainly be debated a bit at tomorrow's meeting. cheers, steve -- stephen lau | stevel at opensolaris.org | www.whacked.net -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
