I didn't respond because I don't blog, and nobody I know (except the previously mentioned people) blog. It's not so much a lack of interest on my part, it's just that blogging isn't how I'd handle the birthday. :) I didn't want to derail your thread, so I didn't comment. > To ask it another way: if what I proposed isn't good, what adjustments > need to be made? Add something to your proposal that doesn't involve blogging. To explain, some people (such as myself) generally thing blogs are a waste of space on the internet. Of course, that is completely my opinion, and quite obviously a lot of people disagree. To each their own! This isn't intended to start an argument, please don't. The point is, I am excluded from your grassroots b-day movement, because I don't blog/don't condone blogging. I would suggest instead of limiting it to blogging, you open it up to other areas. News sites, etc. I'd be glad to put a little blurb about the birthday on my business's main page, something like: "We run Solaris and wanted to point out how far things are progressing with the OpenSolaris community, it's been a year and OpenSolaris is still gaining momentum. The OpenSolaris community is full of innovation and technical capability, and our infrastructure benefits greatly! We want to take the time to thank all of the community members that make our a bsolutely amazingly reliable servers possible, and let all of our clients know that we will continue to interact and work with the OpenSolaris community to keep improving our systems." However, you want to write it, something like this. The key is not limiting the scope of the grassroots movement you suggest we start.
