*nod* The problem is often the turnaround and format of the minutes in a con-call isn't conducive to saying, "Hey! We're working on this." In Apache, our Chairman (or sometimes the Sec'y) sends out a brief summary immediately after every call so that folks know the highlights of what happened before the formal minutes are approved. > For what it's worth, and I know that after-the-fact, > it's probably not worth much - but in case you want to know....

Is this driven by the Indiana team, or by the greater Solaris Engineering team? My hunch from reading the lists is that some members of the Indiana team don't feel a particular need to engage the larger OpenSolaris community. And, that's part of the problem. If the Indiana folks were to buy into the community aspect instead of deeming the OpenSolaris name as their moral right, then perhaps that viewpoint might change. -- justin
