I wasn't trying to point any fingers, just trying to figure out how I (as a community member) could get that information. In the past I've been told it's because I wasn't subscribed to the proper community, or that I had not read some specific piece of FAQ posted somewhere, and even in one case I had not responeded to a message sent out to opensolaris-discuss. I understand we're growing, and as such some of this takes time. >> Has the process passed a vote from the OGB, and if so, can you folks let >> the community know in some type of public announcement? > > Yes, and yes. > >> Maybe I missed one if it was done, but I don't remember seeing that the >> constitution and/or process was approved. > > The Constitution was approved by the Membership in a formal poll in > March, and those results were announced widely. Thanks for your response, let's hope the communication gets better as we move forward. -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 IHV/OEM Group
