I'm having graphic issues with the #1. Anyone have any qualifications
here? But I would recommend you use that. It is a fan button in the
shape of a 1 to represent the year anniversary. And I have to say David,
I love what you wrote.

Not preempting Laura or Sara, I'd offer that posting a blurb on your
company's website would be excellent (Sun.com will be doing something
similar), and you could possibly embelish it with a button:

Add something to your proposal that doesn't involve blogging. To
explain, some people (such as myself) generally thing blogs are a
waste of space on the internet. Of course, that is completely my
opinion, and quite obviously a lot of people disagree. To each their
own! This isn't intended to start an argument, please don't. The point
is, I am excluded from your grassroots b-day movement, because I don't
blog/don't condone blogging. I would suggest instead of limiting it to
blogging, you open it up to other areas. News sites, etc. I'd be glad
David--
while I think this is a fair criticism, handling the media is something
that I am not really personally able to do (but see below...).
One other grass roots thing I am also looking at putting together is an
IRC party on #opensolaris, and looking at ways of making entering the
IRC channel for casual users easier, like a java applet or something.
to put a little blurb about the birthday on my business's main page,
something like: "We run Solaris and wanted to point out how far things
are progressing with the OpenSolaris community, it's been a year and
OpenSolaris is still gaining momentum. The OpenSolaris community is
full of innovation and technical capability, and our infrastructure
benefits greatly! We want to take the time to thank all of the
community members that make our a bsolutely amazingly reliable servers
possible, and let all of our clients know that we will continue to
interact and work with the OpenSolaris community to keep improving our
systems."
However, you want to write it, something like this. The key is not
limiting the scope of the grassroots movement you suggest we start.
That would be awesome-- the thing you wrote is great. I think that
I was trying only to carve off the blogging part of the birthday
effort-- there is more that hopefully will happen (I at least hope
that we'll see some news articles and stuff). Over in the marketing
community there has been a discussion about the birthday. I hope Sara
and/or Laura will also respond to your point about non-blogging types of
participation.
