<The original poster is back. My idea is to have a place for Chinese users, mainly for education (and then marketing). If we other communities are better suitable for specific topics posted to this one, we can redirect them. What's the next step?> My thought is to establish a small-scale SUN-unrelated S/OS research program at a university in a less expensive place in (interior, preferably, for cost considerations) China. This project has to be separated from SUN so as to hi-lite the independent (& potentially entrepreneurial) nature of OpenSolaris. Since this is a non-profit venture which will always be suspeciously viewed as a front-end or even an alter ego of Sun, funding will be very difficult to secure. Thus, please excuse me for my blunt language, I am challenging our comrades in China: How much will it take for something like this to get started? Of course we can merrily stay with the good ol' NG/Forum based campaigns, but these two efforts are not exclusive of each other.
