It's good to hear that you have decided to be more active. I'll be listening to your position in case I can vote in the upcoming election, should you be nominated. Does it bother you to read pathetic threads about this community, as this thread has displayed? I know it does me, and speaking for myself, I'm embarrassed. As a person working in Solaris x86 Engineering, I am getting better at accepting embarrassment... What's funny is that the community seems pretty upset, but not at the work that the engineers have done towards Indiana, or the packaging system, but the way it was managed between Sun and the community. Those engineers must be extremely embarrassed... Might be a good time to take some notes...:-/ -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 IHV/OEM Group
