Hi all, After 2.5 years (time does fly!) I've made the choice to change my role on OpenSolaris. I'm moving from the fry-pan into the fire by joining up with Bonnie's team on website and tools. You'll find me over there driving a roadmap for the next phase of the opensolaris.org website.
I'm confident that the docs community will continue to grow, prosper, and demonstrate healthy community collaboration in the manner we have done throughout these early years! You all are truly *the best*, words really don't capture my gratitude and appreciation of your hard work and professionalism in building a strong foundation for this pubs project. I'm counting on you to shepherd the seven live doc projects we've got rolling, to maintain the docs community web pages, and just keep writing about OSOL! Meanwhile, I'll do everything I can to make forward progress on features/usability/navigation and best practices we need to develop for the greater OSOL website. My official replacement is TBD, but please welcome that person when they introduce themselves. (I'm currently holding the latest docs consolidation update until I can train a new person, but I hope to push new files by end of April. Stuart and Doug will continue with the man page consolidation updates and announcements.) We also need a new Facilitator, so anyone who is interested send along a reply. The Facilitator role is the Docs community interface to the OGB (governing board), so it is that individual's task to watch contributions throughout the year, collect requests for, and suggest contributor status grants to the OGB Secretary on behalf of documentation community members. As it happens, the newly appointed OGB 2008 Secretary is yours truly (another aspect of change in my open source life), so I'll work closely with the new docs Facilitator to transition what I was doing. Many thanks! Michelle Olson Website Project Leader & OGB Secretary
