Note the Nexenta project is by all rights and intentions (Erast, correct me if I'm wrong) a project of and by the OpenSolaris community.Yes, its entierly driven by the Community developers and users who generates bug reports... We just trying to coordinate the effort and sometimes(when time permits) contribute to the project. Money-wise, it relies on Users donatations and Google adverts. So, if you do not donated yet, please do.. :-) Periodic donations especially appreciated. We also need more build x86 machines to deploy. There are many areas which needs to be improved. ON/NWS better integration is just one of them. We also would like to move GNU/Debian userland to Feisty branch, but this will require 2 engineers 1 month full time, so the hope is that involved Companies(those who trying to use NexentaOS) will donate engineering force for us..
Would it help cost-wise to consider migrating some things? I would think at least some of your apps/DB/mail systems could use the HW/SW infrastructure and bandwidth that opensoloaris.org provides... Eric
(Question for the future OGB: does a Project/Community have to be hosted on opensolaris.org in order to qualify its members for Core Contributor status?)
