All (apologies in advance for cross-posting), I'd like to have a requirements gathering session with all of you and OGB, first to go through some of the progress and shortcomings of the current OpenSolaris 2008.05 release, and then to start gathering requirements to help me prioritize the Sun engineering resources appropriately as well as to work together on prioritizing what we can accomplish with the next release of the OpenSolaris distribution, which will be in the November timeframe. I'd like to have this session on Thursday, June 12th, from 2-5pm PT, and we will have this recorded and slides posted so we can get continuous feedback afterward (I realize that any time I pick won't work for a lot of the community around the world). Note that I can still get feedback after this meeting (and prior to), but I wanted to quickly set up a time as its that time of year at Sun where some of the planning is occuring and I want to make sure that I have as much input from the community as possible (the Summit was a big help as well).
We'll also make sure to have an IRC channel open, and we'll have some better phone #'s available so our non-US based community can more economically participate (the current #'s are a placeholder). Current agenda will be a preso from me on what some of the high level focus items we're considering, a report on IPS (progress and direction), and Install (progress and direction). I'd like some discussion in the form of lightning talks either from what the community wants to discuss or what you want to hear about that wouldn't be covered with the 3 topics above, and then a time for Q&A/Clarification. The Wiki for the event is here: http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Indiana#OpenSolaris_Community_Strategy_Planning_Meeting Depending on interest I'll have the meeting run over :^) Hope to see you there. Tim
