Tony, >From my understanding, projects can be promoted to communities, but communities can not be demoted to projects.
That being the case, you might consider a third approach to getting up and runnning quickly. Seek approval from the Xen community for a new project "ldom". This is the fastest path to getting up and running quickly, as it only involves approval at the CG level. At a latter date, ldom could be promoted to a full community, or moved into the virtualization community as a project (or set of projects). -Brian On 8/7/07, Tony Shoumack <Tony.Shoumack at sun.com> wrote: > > Hi All, > > There has been a fairly robust discussion regarding the various > approaches > to virtualization communities at OpenSolaris, the complexities around > complementary/orthogonal technologies, and the somewhat multi-faceted > structure of LDoms in terms of technology layers and their various > status' > of open-source (Hypervisor, Solaris drivers and LDoms Manager). > > Combining these into an overall virtualization community is certainly > the > most logical end-game. > > However, as a starting point could we look at putting together an LDoms > community as a stand-alone - similar to XEN, Zone etc..
