Re: [ogb-discuss] Call for Action

We do have a community. It's alive and well. It's a community of users 
and administrators. We don't have community of developers. And this is 
why we can't just fork off and start anew. All the brilliant minds that 
drive OpenSolaris development were on the payroll of Sun and most are 
now on payroll of Oracle. Thus we need to be in Oracle's good grace. 
What we do have, however, are community distributions. Well, 
one-man-community distributions, but outside from Oracle now. And we 
need to promote them. Yes, Mr. Gosh, I'm looking at you also. :)
What we also have is a one-man-community ( :)) security repository for 
/release - Project Kyoto. What we need is to embrace and extend such 
efforts. We also have an effort, a bit stale lately, to have wholly open 
distribution - OSUNIX.
What I just gave is a list of opportunities. We need to catch them 
before people involved are driven away by their need to pay bills.
I have no idea how to gather a community of good and experienced 
developers, and even more I don't know how to do this in a short period 
of time.
So I agree, that we have to look a bit more lively to pass for a healthy 
community.

Damian Wojsław
