Actually, no, that link doesn't exist. You're probably looking at
"leaders," but "leaders" aren't "core contributors."
One of the problems we have is that there's a confusingly complex set
of terminology associated with OpenSolaris. We have:
communities
projects
members
contributors
core contributors
emeritus contributors
facilitators
leaders
affiliates
observers
endorsements
governing board
In addition to the existing Sun-legacy pieces of ARC, SAC, WOS,
Consolidations, RTIs, C-teams, and various sub-issues such as proper
OpenSolaris voting procedures, meeting mechanisms, and processes. And
then there are the OpenSolaris-only tools such as the wiki-like-but-
not-wiki TML.
A lot of this structure was planned and put into place before the
community started running. It's good and complicated, and we seem
(from my perspective) to have a hard time using it all effectively.
Perhaps we need to grow into it.
