Tom has proposed that OpenAFS submit a hardware grant request to Sun.
It is believed that we can obtain up to $100,000 in 1U X86 boxes that we
could use for a test infrastructure. Sun may be tempted to provide this
equipment if OpenAFS was to state a desire to target OpenSolaris as a
preferred operating system for OpenAFS deployments.
Please let us know if you believe this is a good or bad idea.
Personally I have concerns given the observed (on my part) maturity of x86
OpenSolaris, however I can't take a hard and fast position based on that.
I can share that experience if any of you are curious, however, I'd like
to not share it widely until others have shared to avoid creating bias.
