Joerg, You need to take a chill pill, as you are alienating (have alienated?) the group you are seeking collaboration with. Let me give you a hint. Most people don't like to have their motives questioned at every move. Nor do they like contrariness, when it seems to have no logical purpose. (Other than whining about your own goals not being prioritized.)
I've noticed that you also seem to have something against Sun, and Sun employees. Keep in mind that Sun funds OpenSolaris, and if it wasn't for Sun there wouldn't even be an open source code base to work off. Not to mention, most of the OpenSolaris community is comprised of Sun Employees. Your postings have made me feel like you are someone who is not a team player. (At least based on your recent posts, as I am a new member of the community) I don't know if this is just *my* perception, but I don't really feel inclined to ever work with you on any project. (I do, however, keep an open mind, and hope that you can adapt your method of communication to change my perceptions).
BTW: this is not to you but to Ian, I still would like to know whether Project Indiana is a glossy paper project or whether is should result in code.
If you look back through the posts, Ian and Mark have already stated what Indiana is.
- Project Indiana is the name Ian and I are using to refer to some of
our high level goals and
strategy for Solaris. There is nothing radically new about Project Indiana. It is a collection of things that are either already being worked on by Solaris engineering and/or the OpenSolaris community or have been widely discussed and generally recognized as things we needed to do with Solaris including making it more familiar to a wider community (yes, including the Linux community) and making it easier to install.
To make it simple it is currently just a set of goals, that when combined together set an alternate strategy for Solaris. Personally I believe that Ian is really committed to what is now called Indiana, as his work on Debian embodies most of the selfsame goals that he is proposing for Solaris. brian P.S. - Have you ever considered the fact that your projects might not be getting prioritized for reasons other than technical? You really need to make an effort, to carefully consider whether or not your posts add something of value to the community, and try to understand how they will be perceived. (I am particularly cognizant of this, as I have a tendency to want to post something just for the sake of posting something, without considering the consequences. ). _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
