It has become apparent that some of the collective relationship data in http://auth.opensolaris.org is incorrect. This affects not just the Electorate data which will be used for the forthcoming election, but also Community Groups, and possibly Projects and User Groups as well. We are therefore asking people to check their collective relationships in Auth and notify of us of any discrepancies. These errors may occur in historic data as well as your current relationships, so it is important you check both.
If you find anything you think is incorrect, please send email to ogb-discuss at opensolaris.org with the subject "ELECTORATE ASSIGNMENTS" describing the incorrect data and including details of what you think the correct version should be. To make this process easier, we've brought forward the deployment of the new version of http://auth.opensolaris.org from Monday to today, as it includes extra functionality that makes it easier to view your relationship history. To check your relationship history, follow these steps: 1. Log in to http://auth.opensolaris.org 2. Click on the "Edit your account" link 3. Click on "Collectives" in the left-hand menu. 4. Click on the "Show your relationship history" link at the bottom of the first table on the page. This will pop up a window showing the whole of your relationship history, please check it is correct. Note that if a record has no end date it merely means that the relationship is of indefinite length. Core Contributor relationships are usually for a 2 year term, so they should have an end date.
