Who said anything about a Sun internal project?
I too am under the impression that the design and blessing of an
OpenSolaris reference distro is not inteneded to be a Sun-owned project.
It's certainly not planned to be a Sun internal project. I'm in the final stages
of writing a project proposal draft that I hope to send at some stage today. The
timing of the press article didn't give the team the opportunity to get some of
our ducks in line, and I think we probably owe it to ourselves to get some of
that done.
Well if it isn't meant to be a Sun internal project then all
of the sound bites I've heard/read so far give a very poor
impression of what it's about.
And at the same time, that's _also_ been my impression.
Alan's mail gives a pretty good summary of what was discussed during the user
group meeting last week -

We'll have more stuff out soon for discussion - just need to get over the
initial hurdle of a proposal and list creation.
At some point in time, it would be good if people inside Sun
would come to the opensolaris community with half baked
ideas for projects, rather than fully fledged ideas, so that
the community could participate in the discussion about
what the project should be about rather than being used
as a "tickbox".
