I agree with Bryan. Unfortunately news of illumian escaped before the code did. When I started illumos it was first with a code drop.
In any case a governing body has no place in a discussion like this as there is no basis for it to govern. People are free to fork and innovate. And this is as it should be. -- Garrett Sent from my iPhone On Nov 29, 2011, at 9:12 PM, "Bryan Cantrill" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: On Tue, Nov 29, 2011 at 6:40 AM, Linda Kateley <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: All of this discussion makes me know more than ever that we need a governing board. Everyone is right and everyone is wrong. In order to make decisions a board should be elected by the community and for the community. From the governing board, we should be able to add working groups/projects. All in favor of nominating and electing a governing board? No, no, no, no and no! This is _exactly_ the kind of process/governance fetish that OpenSolaris developed, and it must be firmly and emphatically rejected! We do _not_ need to "elect projects" -- we need to experiment with many different kinds of ideas _by_ _implementing_ _them_. That is, without the burden of elections and governing boards and "sponsored projects" and all of this other crypto-fascist nonsense. Please: lead with _implementation_, not rhetoric. If there's a mistake here, it's the fact that illumian was pre-announced here and opened for bike shedding instead of just _made_ _available_. So if you want to announce something, do it with a public source repository and a download -- that's all the process we need. - Bryan illumos-discuss | Archives<https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now> [b88fa31.jpg?uri=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGlzdGJveC5jb20vaW1hZ2VzL2ZlZWQtaWNvbi0xMHgxMC5qcGc] <https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175539-f0d50499> | Modify<https://www.listbox.com/member/?&;> Your Subscription [b88fa31.png?uri=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGlzdGJveC5jb20vaW1hZ2VzL2xpc3Rib3gtbG9nby1zbWFsbC5wbmc] <http://www.listbox.com> ------------------------------------------- illumos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/182180/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/182180/21175430-2e6923be Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21175430&id_secret=21175430-6a77cda4 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
