The motion you refer to says "Otherwise the OGB will take action at
the August 23 meeting to trigger the clause in the OGB charter that
will return control of the community to Oracle", thus as our last,
completely symbolic act, we need to actually take the action.
Contrary to your blog'd assertions, the OGB isn't committing ritual
suicide - it, and the community it was formed to lead are already
dead. It happened when nobody was looking, sometime in the last 15 to
36 months. OpenSolaris's executive supporters within Sun came down
with a major case of cold feet when Ian came on board and GlennW left;
things deteriorated into a chronic case of apathy when Sun's Board
accepted the Oracle offer in April 2009, and Sun/Oracle's corporate
participation became indistinguishable from rigor-mortis on Feb 6,
2010. It simply has taken until now for the coroner to talk with the
next of kin and issue a death certificate; today's "announcement"
makes it clear that the family's patriarchs don't want to have
anything to do with us freeloaders.
RIP
