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 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: mips-discuss at os.o
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").
