Hey there, Unfortunately this is going to be the last OpenSolaris Weekly News while I am editor of it - it's just been too difficult to devote the time given my current commitments.
I believe this is a *HUGELY IMPORTANT* role in the community that needs some enthusiasm, love, and hard work and an awesome way of personally keeping up to date on what's happening. You don't need a strong technical knowledge of the project to contribute, just some awareness of what may or may not be the interesting bits from the various mailing lists. Sorry everyone, I know a lot of people are reading this - I'd just like to focus my energy on other initiatives right now. Thanks, Glynn == Moinak Ghosh reported [1] that he had got a working modular Xorg 7.2 tree into BeleniX, including some of the missing libraries that aren't yet available in the X consolidation. Martin Bochnig posted [2] a delivery of packages for Xorg on SPARC. 1.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/xwin-discuss/2007-April/001174.html 2.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/xwin-discuss/2007-May/001183.html Ben Rockwood proposed [3] an OpenSolaris picnic, to celebrate the 2nd year anniversary, so that OpenSolaris and various related Solaris groups could get together and have a good time. 3.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/opensolaris-mktg/2007-May/003739.html Stephen Hahn asked [4] whether the posting of job advertisements would be suitable for opensolaris.org, with mutual agreement despite a list of possible questions [5] for appropriateness. After some discussion, Stephen created [6] opensolaris-jobs, a moderated alias with a team to figure out what was and wasn't acceptable. 4.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-May/000439.html 5.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-May/000451.html 6.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-May/000500.html Alan Coopersmith proposed [7] 2007/003 for discussing the issues of community groups with less than 3 core contributors, an issue dropped from Steve Lau's original community re-organization proposal. 7.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-May/000482.html
