Unix-brethren, Indeed there are "others" present, even if not all of us coders, not all censoring contents offhand, when quite a bit may be "on topic".
I fully endorse what Apostolos said. This is a time to pull together, and OI needs our best! We have lost one of our number -no stranger- and it deserves attention, in this community of people. Ian Murdock, here and in the FOSS world at large, will be missed... Learning my bit of *nix skills on Debian (since 1997!), I owe him a lot; more, as a Sun user (since 2000), later including OpenSolaris and our trials with OpenIndiana, alive among my motley collection of retro Sparc machines. On the Marketing side, I once managed some projects with Sun and Sun clients. My small outfit ended up in Sun Partner Advantage for a while, and, always taking the FOSS road as our service principle, we were very happy when OpenSolaris came into being. We gave Project Indiana feedback about it. Ironically, I never knew that Ian Murdock was in it (contact delegated to others in my team) -or I'd have surely dropped him a line, hoping to have a beer. We who stay behind, go on. OpenIndiana (with apologies, being no coder I've only contributed "in spirit", so far) surely isn't aeons behind - if anything, the project has been spared the cumbersome learning curves of live responses to paying customers' demands, etc. Yet it's a struggle to keep coding new features in, fixing issues for the old and the new, keeping up to date with tech developments, with little support (none financially), to stay in the fight to have a Release, one day soon. My sincerest wish is that all be rewarded, indeed, one day soon... and let's drink one to Ian, when it comes. :-) Best, ~Rick On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 12:47 PM, Apostolos Syropoulos via openindiana-discuss <openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org> wrote: > Martin, On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 1:06 PM, Мартин Бохниг <opens...@mail.ru> wrote: > Dear Apostolos, > > > Big thanks! > > %m > > > >>Среда, 6 января 2016, 12:47 UTC от Apostolos Syropoulos via >>openindiana-discuss <openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org>: >> >>Martin, >> >>Please post whatever you like!
