Hello.

But they do. Openindiana is still the reference as the only disto
that can build vanilla an unmodified illumos-gate. Unless that has
changed?
Resources are tight enough that if there are mentors for OI willing to
help out I see no issue. Unless we have a larger number of mentors
and viable candidates than slots. I doubt that is going to happen this
year based on the responses so far. I also haven't heard any of OI
developers offer to mentor so it may be a moot question.
Should we provide a set of specific project ideas for application?
I'd like to suppose several tasks if no one objects:
1) make oi-userland safe in respect to parallel package compiling (now
we support compiling multiple components in parallel), it would be good
to support compiling most components themself in parallel;
2) add build-time dependency tracking to oi-userland (the framework
itself to set buildtime dependencies for components and installing
prerequisite packages before building) and set correct dependencies for
at least all major components;
3) XNV/JDS transition to oi-userland, perhaps renewal of X11;
4) at last, port "your favorite software".
I'd like to help but I'm not sure in
a) how much time I can dedicate to this task
b) if I have skills enough to mentor all these task.
Also, perhaps, it's better to clear way for non-very-popular illumos
tasks (drm/wi-fi stack/new drivers/etc). In sense, that we can solve
above mentioned problems (or perhaps workaround them), but we can't do
anything if OS just doesn't support specific use case or user system.
