I have at least one point of confusion about this plan.  I suspect
it's probably something that someone has discussed somewhere before,
but I can't find a reference to it.

The point of having a Nevada project would be, I assume, to manage
release content and (at least indirectly) schedules.  But aren't those
issues that _should_ ultimately be decided by each distribution?

Should we be committing every Open Solaris based distribution to
obeying the ebb and flow of Sun Solaris release schedules?

When they come into conflict, what's the right dividing line between
needing to pick and choose the components that belong in a given
release, and coordinating those decisions across distributions?

(My guess is that the underlying issue is that ON is too big.  :-/)

[osol-discuss] ONNV - ON community renaming proposal

2006-07-24 Thread Danek Duvall
I'd like to propose that we rename the onnv community to be the on
community.  The original name is more suitable for a project (a proposal
for which is to be made shortly), but we didn't have the infrastructure at
the time to do the right thing.

Thanks,
Danek

I'd like to propose that we rename the onnv community to be the on

When I first heard about ON, it sounded like a strange
acronym. Where's 'OFF'?

(So the best here is to say for me is ±0?)

If there's a strong desire to make this more descriptive, I'm okay with
osnet instead of on, but on is by far the more common acronym these
days.  I'd guess that simply expanding and describing it on the main
communities page as well as at the top of the ON community page itself
would probably be sufficient to answer the huh?s we'd get.

And while you're at it, would you create a Nevada project which is 
sponsored by the ON community? Or is everyone content with the current 
structure as-is?
