[...] Since you asked.... While OI and Illumos should retain and nurture a collaborative relationship, I also think OI should foster and maintain it's own independence, as imho Illumos and Nexenta have not always acted in OI's best interest. Hence, my vote would be for OI to form it's own foundation. Whether this can be accomplished in a time frame suitable for the donation referenced is another matter. I think having some clue as to rough figures would help here, and if not too large amount I would vote for it just to handed over to Alasdair and let him handle it as best he sees fit until an appropriate legal entity could be established. Heck, setting up such may well be the best use of said funds. As for Alasdair having resigned as project lead, I would politely ask if we could prevail upon him to re-don his lead hat for this one last action. Why? In short; I feel he, likely more than anyone, has the community's trust.
