Stephen,
I think the crux of the "contribution" is financial in this particular
case.
Since there is no OpenSolaris corporation, and all current funding comes
from
Sun, there's no provision for anyone else to provide any kind of direct
funding
to the community.
...which leads to this question:
* Should there be a "Making Donations" account, managed by Sun, to
further the OpenSolaris community?
That may look easy but there's:
* Finanical responsibility
* Taxation laws
* Ensuring that the money actually gets used for an "approved" purpose
I'm relatively certain that if you said to Sun, "Look, here's a $US50K
cheque to develop Solaris" they'd probably work out a way to accept the
money for that purpose.
It sounds vaguely like I might be suggesting the suggestion of a
community project :P
