The constitution doesn't seem to say anything about the recommendations, so I assume anyone can do that. The votes are counted among the current Core Contributors; the definition of a "Core" contributor is one who can vote. > >> ( given there is no Solaris > >> branch and all projects in Networking are being done as part of > >> Opensolaris.) ? > >> > > > > I don't understand the "given" part. > Why are all engineers in Solaris networking who are developing their > code in Opensolaris not considered contributors of Opensolaris? Corporate affiliation is irrelevant here; we're talking about an OpenSolaris matter. It runs according to tis own rules, so Sun employees are no more automatic than are Intel, IBM, or any others. If there's someone who is not listed as a contributor who you think ought to be, then speak up. -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <[email protected]> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
