Good point. That's why these things get reviewed. OK: The foo community has less than the required minimum of 3 Core Contributors to govern its affairs and, according to the constitution, should be terminated. The OpenSolaris Governing Board can deal with the situation by: A) Terminating the community B) Designating at least 3 new Core Contributors in order to revitalize the community, or C) Merge this community with another (possibly as a project). Unless the community members themselves step up and make a good case for one of the other options within the next 30 days, the OGB will ask the website community to terminate the community group, following the procedure set forth here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/web/infrastructure-setup/ (I've also changed it to "make a good case" - we need to be sure that if it does get revitalized then it won't just get left to rot as soon as it's been rescued.) I plan to send this as is to all the listed communities, with the exception of Chinese Users (has no mail list). For Approachability I'll add a note that we've had communication from its leadership that it should go. This should also go to somewhere common (osol-discuss or osol-announce?) so that people who aren't currently members of the affected communities but who may wish to participate in the process can do so. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
