Might be worth checking since quite a few projects seem to have gone through just lately, a cursory glance provides this list of projects that seem to have been proposed since the Constitution was ratified and finalised after the new process was approved by the OGB on April 25 (dates are of Eric's confirmation mail): OpenSolaris Programming Contest in China Academic Developers May 21, 2007 15:24:03 BDT Virtual Network Machines May 21, 2007 15:20:50 BDT Emulex Fibre Channel Device Driver May 30, 2007 20:51:34 BDT Port OpenSolaris to System z May 24, 2007 15:22:24 BDT Full FMA support for generic x86 machine-check architecture May 14, 2007 19:31:05 BDT Sensor Abstraction Layer for the Solaris Fault Manager May 1, 2007 02:07:46 BDT Project Proposal: SAM-QFS April 27, 2007 15:17:17 BDT Proposal for IPoIB performance project April 27, 2007 15:17:01 BDT I expect some have followed the process but it's hard to tell in several places (even assuming I understand it). This seems to be the first to be bounced. S.
