True, that. Maybe if someone crafted some new articles of incorporation (maybe following August 16th's regrettable, but seemingly inevitable outcome) we could take the existing bewildered community and start working again towards common goals. I don't see why such a community couldn't also adopt most or all of the existing constitution modulo any parts dealing with transfer "back" to Sun/Oracle. The OGB can "shoot itself" in the head, and from the same corpus (the community) could spring a new head. > > For all this, anybody could have done it over the past 5 years or > so. Anybody still can. Pending the outcome of mid August, I'd be interested in lending whatever support I could to such an endeavor. Maybe sooner -- even if the bar is met, and Oracle _does_ appoint a liaison, I'm not sure that's really enough. There are many other things going on that point toward the inevitable breakup of Oracle and community. I suspect I speak for many, if not most, when I say that I think the success of a true "Open" OpenSolaris rests with a separate, self-sufficient, community. Distinct and separate from Oracle, but sharing many common goals (chief among them the continued success of OpenSolaris). _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
