Eric Shrock, I want to host a community which already exists, the 'CIFS community', on the OpenSolaris website. I want to do this since we have several implementations that work on Solaris of CIFS already and especially since there is a native OpenSolaris client coming out, which has been wanted for some time. Going to google and typing 'CIFS community' as a search will show you some results of where the CIFS community members lurk for other operating systems or for specific cross-platform implementations.
If ZFS, and indeed, all the FS's may migrate to being projects in a Filesystems community at some point then that's fine. Until then, I would prefer to keep things consistent and organized, and we can move them all together. A lack of consistency in organization would bother me. Others: I was told that to get this created we need to achieve a consensus. I don't see any kind of process for this other than perhaps someone with administrative powers that looks at the thread and decides that it looks 'consensus-y' enough? I have not yet been contacted by anyone who openly admits to have any kind of administrative capacity on this forum, or pointed towards anyone who did. In the Governing body section, I found Casper Dik and Simon Phipps's email and have bcc'd them in this response. They seem like the head honchos, cause right now I feel like an alien that just landed on a planet and is going 'Bzrrrpt! Take me to your leader!'. :) However, I don't think this is supposed to be a bureaucracy, open source is bing bang zip, you can make the change and fix the problem pronto. That's why it's awesome, and let's set that as an example in our behaviour as well. Responsive. So please don't leave me in limbo, either: 1) Help me to set up a CIFS community (Cheers and Yays appreciated) 2) Help me to move all the FS's into a big Filesystems community, and reorganize them all as projects. To everyone that responded thus far, thanks for all your help and input.
