The following message has been, or shortly will be, sent to the mailing lists of the following Community Groups:
Appliances Approachability Chinese Users Databases Games on OpenSolaris HPC Developer Observability OpenSolaris Printing PowerPC Solaris Volume Manager Unix File Systems (UFS) =============8<============= The [insert name here] community has less than the required minimum of 3 Core Contributors to govern its affairs and, according to the OpenSolaris constitution, should be terminated. The OpenSolaris Governing Board can deal with the situation by: A) Terminating the community B) Designating at least 3 new Core Contributors in order to revitalize the community, or C) Merge this community with another (possibly as a project). If community members step up and make a good case for options B or C within the next 30 days (either by guiding the OGB as to who the new Core Contributors should be, or by advising the OGB what nature of merger would be in the best interests of the affected community) then the OGB will work with the community to take that option forward. Otherwise, the OGB will ask the website community to terminate the community group, following the procedure set forth here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/web/infrastructure-setup/ =============8<============= Some of these Communities are hangovers from the early days of OpenSolaris; others may have fallen on hard times; others may simply have bypassed or neglected the constitutional processes. It is not the intent of the OGB to terminate communities that are or should be healthy, so this is an opportunity for members of the communities listed to evaluate their activities and, should they wish to continue, to demonstrate leadership. Of course, for any communities that aren't active, pruning should be considered a healthy part of community development. -- -Peter Tribble OGB Vice-Chair _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
