OK, this has to use the old process:

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ogb/policies/project-instantiation.txt

So basically find a sponsoring community group (Systems Administration
would be a good one to choose!). Put together a brief summary of the proposal
(see section 2.2 of the above document), and either send it to sysadmin-discuss
or to me and I'll push it through for you.

That wasn't clear in your initial message.   Under the current process, you
need to get one of the community groups listed on:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/communities/#portal
to sponsor you, a +1 here won't help.

See the current process docs at:
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/ogb/policies/project-instantiation.txt

(The upcoming process drops this requirement, but isn't in place yet.)

Hi James,

Apologize that it took me a while to respond to your comment.  The thought that 
I will be accused of accusing someone of your (highly respected) stature to be 
associated with the R-word flabbergasted me.  But recently (even) I was being 
openly called a "racist" b/c I don't openly support a certain candidate.  Thus, 
perhaps this is not as big a deal as I was trained to believe.

I always thought there was a conspiracy within Sun to insist on IIIMF.  I know 
that will be detrimental to the acceptance of OpenSolaris in the China market 
(and thus detrimental to Sun's interest).  Whether that thought has any 
foundation, I have no idea.

Last night I was watching a Taiwan TV station.  It commented that the Chinese 
government has changed its mind and will use its huge cash surplus (about $ 2 
trillion US dollars--the only country in the world that can do that) to help 
stabilize world financial market, and predicted that the stock market should 
move up today.  Well, up it does.  (I am sure this is only one of the factors, 
but this is the one that none of our major TV stations in the US talked about.)

In China, a subprime is a mortgage with "only" 20% down.  But of the most 
interest to us, is the government's policy to switch its economic focus from 
export-based to expanding domestic markets.  I really wish that, whether we 
understand Chinese or not, we should always keep marketing in mind, and China 
is going to be a major playing ground.  Actually, if the OpenSolaris LiveCD 
does well there, it will greatly help our cause at least in the US.

As others have pointed out, it's too late in the development cycle for 
any big projects like this.  But the good news is that everything you 
need to do this is available!

I would suggest discussing this on distribution-discuss with the Milax 
project members and finding out how you can help make this a reality.

Cheers,

The short answer will be "no", but the good news is that sooner or later 
someone (else) will make such a distro.

  Great to see such initiative from you all! Though I wonder should you 
make this a OpenSolaris as the primary platform
initially given the technologies you want to administrate. Namely, there 
is no ZFS on Linux (yet), no SMF AFAIK,
jail is probably closest to zone, but not exactly.

I have seen a few requests on Help and I have suggested Milax Server. But Milax 
is not based on IPS. So you cannot upgrade it.

Just an idea.
