Anything that makes it clear that this distribution does not *yet* lay
proper claim to being the one-and-only OpenSolaris distribution would
be acceptable to me, at least until a community-wide vote on the issue
can be held.
The main web page _must_ change, as must the distribution name.
I'm fine with augmenting the name. I'm fine with removing
"OpenSolaris" entirely or leaving it in. I'm fine with adding clear
disclaimers.
In fact, I don't want to dictate how the folks responsible for this
naming[1] resolve the problem. We have discussed many viable options,
and I think the folks responsible understand those options and can
deal with them in an appropriate manner.
Instead of haggling over and micro-managing someone else's job, let's
finalize the message and deliver it. Keith suggested this:
Until that time, we ask that Sun require that references to Indiana
discontinue using the name 'OpenSolaris' or any other implying
exclusive endorsement of the OpenSolaris Community.
I'll counter with this amendment that I believe makes the requirement
clear by citing the specific terms used on the web site:
Until that time, we ask that Sun require that references to Indiana
discontinue using the name "OpenSolaris Developer Preview,"
"OpenSolaris binary distribution," or any other name implying
exclusive endorsement of the OpenSolaris Community.
1. Whoever those person or persons may be. It seems we're in a
strange place where we cannot even know or admit to this much.
