In accordance with Article VIII of the OpenSolaris Constitution, public votes are required for release plans and release decisions within any project governed by an OpenSolaris Community Group. A release is defined as any packaged distribution intended for people outside the originating community.
Failure to follow that process is grounds for dissolution of the community and reorganization of its work in a form that will obey the rules by which we agreed to form this organization. None of the projects governed by the Desktop Community have demonstrated any sense of awareness of these rules, and Project Indiana has deliberately ignored them on several occasions. It is time to decide whether the constitution is going to be enforced as the bylaws of this organization. Failure to act means that the bylaws have no relation to what goes on under the banner of OpenSolaris, and the OGB is merely a puppet show for the dictator behind the curtains. In that case, it would be better to dissolve the organization than participate in a sham. I hereby appeal to the OGB to dissolve the Desktop Community and call for proposals for its work to be reorganized into communities that actually intend to work on OpenSolaris projects in accordance with the OpenSolaris Constitution.
