I call for a vote of the members of this project to terminate
this project at OpenSolaris.org. Please indicate a YES or NO
below :
YES [ ] - kill this project at OpenSolaris.org
NO [X] - no .. not yet. Let's work this out.
I'm not sure killing the project at OS.o is really the way to go, us
being a "project" is pretty meaningless either way, and being on OS.o
gives us a bit of visibility
Regardless of your vote above, do you have an interest in the
creation/resurrection of the power/powerpc port of OpenSolaris
which was formally named Polaris ?
YES [X ] - let us work together
NO [ ] - no means no. Kill this forever.
Us, ( the community ) can work together. OpenSolaris isn't the most
portable chunk of code, but I have faith that we can get it done
If you feel YES, we can and should work on a port of OpenSolaris
to the PowerPC and POWER architectures then do you feel we should
once again remove this project outside of the Sun Microsystems
firewalls and get it back out into the community :
YES [ X] - re-open what we had before for example
NO [ ] - no ... let's talk about some other way.
This last one is precisely what I'm getting at ( sorry about the harsh
language, by the way ), I don't think we can count on any code from
SUNW and I'd really still love to see the project go forward, so it's
in our best interest to reject any promises from sun unless they're
backed up with actual code that we can see.
If we can't see the code, it doesn't exist, and it doesn't really
matter who's stalling it, at the end of the day Sun Microsystems is
giving us empty promises that end up killing community involvement.
