I don't see any other way of reading that. You're saying that other distributions don't have "requirements" and that thus this new one shouldn't either. As an OpenSolaris project, though, it does need to follow the OpenSolaris project process. That process requires specifing project leaders (we still don't have any of those) and a community endorsement. I'd even be willing to go along with an exception process for projects that don't have sponsoring communities but that are generally seen as good things. I'm not so willing to go along with having empty shells -- projects with no leaders. For what it's worth, none of those other distributions attempted to adopt the mantle of representing all of OpenSolaris. > > I just don't see it that way.

There's a separate communication problem that I expect Keith and the others involved to work out.

Simply uncalled for. The requests have been very clear and consistent. I see no way to make them any clearer. This discussion is obviously not getting anywhere, so if project leads aren't available and the project somehow still wants to go forward, then let's open the whole topic of the project creation process back up again at the next OGB meeting. Please do try to contribute so that the new process (whatever it may be) is more to your liking. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
