Actually, I agree with James that the project is so far-reaching that it's a
community-wide issue - I think Glynn did the right thing approaching the OGB
Agreed - it's a community-wide issue.
I would have preferred to have seen Glynns proposal go through some
discussion and refinement via osol-discuss before being presented to
the OGB. It currently feels unrefined, disorganized and very "last
minute" in its current form (IMHO). Which is strange - since its been
widely anticipated for weeks now.
and osol-discuss lists, although it's good to see which lists you think are
affected too. I'd like to see the OGB give positive, supportive guidance (as
well as to see your proposal and Glynn's harmonised), probably by selecting
or creating a community to work on the proposal you and Glynn are pioneering.
Agreed. Lets see the OGB say "this is how to proceed".
But even if it was the wrong choice, I'm eager to have us all channel this
"stop energy" and suspicion of Sun into something positive. For goodness
sake, Sun's executives are agreeing with you and investing in the idea you
were discussing!
Both these project proposals are only good news for OpenSolaris. And
its really exciting to see that resources are being made available
from the very highest levels of Sun management.
For folks on those lists Brian added that aren't on OSOL-Discuss: Glynn's
proposal can be found at:

One point I'd like to emphasize, is that if the OGB say (something
like) "process A has to be followed" then they should ensure that the
implementation resources are pre-allocated to ensure that this happens
smoothly and quickly. IOW the resources to ensure that "process A"
can be implemented and completed in a timely manner. And this would
include having people with the necessary tools/training etc. be ready,
willing and able to perform the necessary duties to get it done
expeditiously. Then announce it.
