I would be happy to be part of any board or committee. I have alot of
experience with a number of different communities and what's successful
and what's not. The one that fascinates me is open stack, mostly with
the funding and participation they get...
And Dan would love to hear all the stories

No NSA or U.S. laws pressure to code a backdoor for them.
As someone who worked in the shadow of such a threat for many years (Building
IPsec both at NRL, and pre-OpenSolaris Sun), the open-source nature of OmniOS
mitigates (at least partially) explicit pressure as a concern. Open-source
code has a strong (albeit not fully court-tested) 1st amendment defense -- see
here:

There may be good reasons to have an outside-the-US foundation, but backdoor
concerns is not one of them.

p.s. I have good 90s-crypto-wars stories.
