Who's "We"?
Sorry, but that comes off as if you just made a nasty Freudian slip. Which
then begs the question again: The design and planning of this (an
OpenSolaris reference distro) _is_ going to be an OpenSolaris
Community-governed thing, not a Sun-governed thing, right?
We = me + the people at Sun who are working with me--in this case, the
people figuring out the necessary buttons to push and necessary levers to
pull to spin up the appropriate body in the OpenSolaris community to
do the design and planning (and implementation). There is no conspiracy..
You answered as if I asked "Is this a conspiracy?" (Which, by the way, is
an untactful inference which I take exception to. But maybe, in similar
fashion, you took exception to "Freudian slip". So, touche, I guess).
What I actually did ask was this:
The design and planning of this (an OpenSolaris reference distro) _is_
going to be an OpenSolaris Community-governed thing, not a Sun-governed
thing, right?
