The OpenSolaris distributions will be even more important to Advocacy in the future as we engage very large numbers of users around the world. Advocacy is already somewhat involved with one of the distributions since we sponsor the BeleniX development list. We did that because that list grew from work taking place on the Bangalore OSUG. We are happy to continue sponsoring belenix-discuss, but if that list is better served as part of a Distro CG, that's fine too. That's up the BeleniX guys. Also, in a couple of weeks we'll start shipping User Group Kits, and those kits contain the OpenSolaris Starter Kits, which, of course, contain all the distros. So, there is a natural relationship there.
