I thought we had enough votes as it was: Martin B., John S., John G., and Cyril P. all registered +1 votes. Of course, I don't know if those were all from the Emerging Platforms CG, so thank you for picking up formal adoption of this. > > > I'd just need to know the charter and who wants to be the project leads. I had trouble finding a project charter template, so I stole a rare example from John P. (thanks John!). Besides myself, nobody else has stepped forward, so I would certainly welcome volunteers. ===== OpenSolaris on MIPS Project ===== Name OpenSolaris on MIPS Architecture alias: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Synopsis A project to port the OpenSolaris operating system to the MIPS architecture and related platforms. Sponsor Emerging Platforms CG Description Charter: To develop a port of OpenSolaris suitable for running on MIPS based platforms. Primary efforts will be focused on identifying a development environment and target platforms, creating changes to the ON consolidation to support MIPS32 and possibly MIPS64 builds, and creating recommendations for follow on projects to produce a distribution as well as other necessary projects. Related Projects OpenSolaris for PowerPC port. Expected deliverables - Provide a cross linking build environment - Identify candidate hardware and software emulation platform(s) targets. One goal here is to provide a simple development environment that is easy to obtain and maintain. - Build of portions (or all) of the ON consolidation and provide kernel and userland portions to a minimal identified run state - Investigate and port tools used in the OpenSolaris PowerPC port project ("Polaris").
