When I read this I was thinking "how about an OpenSolaris Community at Blastwave" but we alredy have that. :-) In fact, that was one original idea that was on the table way back before the pilot ever opened. We talked about it ( because the people and infrastructure already existed in Blastwave ) but in the end the OpenSolaris pilot had to be under a Sun owned domain. Makes sense really because after all, it is the source to Solaris ! All the other software is being built just fine at Blastwave. What we need is better coordination and allocation of resources. A meeting of the minds so to speak. -- Dennis Clarke _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
