Combining communities does not mean that they all share the same mailing lists. zones-discuss, xen-discuss, et. al. would continue to exist as they do now. I think that what this would mean is... Brandz, Xen, and Zones would be three new projects in the Virtualization[1] community. The following web areas would move into project pages to make way for the new Virtualization Community page. This page may be useful as a place for newbies to figure out which of the various strategies are useful in different circumstances. http://opensolaris.org/os/community/brandz/ http://opensolaris.org/os/community/xen/ http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/ A new Logical Domains project would likely start in this community. There would likely be a virtualization-discuss[2] list as a catch all for those discussions that don't fit neatly into one of the project lists above. The contributors and core contributors of existing communities would be recognized as the same in the new community. I would only see this as substantial if there was ill-will between the various groups because core contributors could have -1 wars. I really, really, don't foresee that happening. I personally have nothing against the idea. Aside from giving a one-stop place to compare virtualization strategies (which could easily exist in another place) I'm not sure I see a whole lot of benefit. For now my vote is a +0.25. I don't think the constitution allows that, so I figure out if it is a 0 or +1 after a bit more discussion takes place. 1. I would prefer "Server Virtualization" - there's lots of other virtualization in Solaris that is not part of this community. 2. Or "v12n-discuss" to not chew up the entire subject line. -- Mike Gerdts http://mgerdts.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
