I think we are in agreement. 80, 123, or indeed, any number significantly less than "most of the Members" is still the same to me - the majority don't see value in this IRC/Membership meeting with no agenda. Hopefully they *will* find value in actually voting for OGB candidates, but I'm not too optimistic. I think they *all* care about the community and OpenSolaris; they just don't care to be a part of the infighting and complaining that detracts from actually *doing* things. The posturing and arguing we have seen in the last few months hasn't helped - we have alienated many community members and weakened the community; we are seeing the results now. Please feel free to publicize this meeting in whatever ways you think will be effective - we really need to have more participation. -John
