Bullshit dude - those people are trying to figure out what works well for Linux, and trying to identify the gaps on a Solaris side. There's no pushing going on, but a lot of good, open discussion and I do believe that we need to completely discuss the merits of each proposal rather than instantly dismissing them. You're as much in the peanut gallery as they are. > I'm pretty certain that nobody here will believe me, but we keep > coming back to this: > > SGI already has this whole mess not only sorted out, but PEGGED and > NAILED. We should talk to them. > They've contributed a lot to Linux, they might be willing to > contribute to OpenSolaris. Care to expand on that? I, and I'm sure others, would very much welcome the history lesson on what they've successfully done. FWIW, I think we should be doing this with Linux too, and many other communities out there - but you instantly want to dismiss them with every reply. > And I'd be glad to contribute, that's not even a question in my mind. > But first we have to sort out all this confusion and quiet down the > noise coming from the Linux-PC gallery.

And again. And again. Okay - so it's going to become very clear to you in the days to come, that those who contribute positively get to define the direction. It's the simple open source principle. Those who talk, don't. FWIW, I'd very much encourage you to have a good read of the draft governance model - http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=1268&tstart=0 Glynn _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
