Hi again everyone - I've gotten a lot of the same questions on IRC or over email, so I'll try to clarify here.
While you can only see your grant expiration date from here: http://poll.opensolaris.org/ , you cannot authenticate your account from that page. Alternatively, you can view your grant status from the command line: wget -q -O - http://poll.opensolaris.org/grants.csv | grep <username> ("30" are core contributor grants, and the date on the end is the expiry) You will need to visit another opensolaris page, http://hub.opensolaris.org/ works well, and do the authentication procedure from there. (you can also view your grants here, but not see the expiration date - there is an RFE filed to correct that). If your grant is expired, you will need to seek renewal from the community that originally sponsored the grant. If any of this is not clear, please send email to ogb-discuss at opensolaris.org. If you find your account is locked or otherwise inaccessible, please seek help from website-admin at opensolaris.org.
