I do recall every bit of it and I do recall how hard time I had to explain to other people and convince them about OSOL, all these stories and fictions - they are real and exist ! Cmon! As I said to John already, if Garret is up to something thats very cool and laudable and he should properly announce his effort. He did publish some weeks ago an entry in his blog saying just wait, we all be saved and delivered - Whats that, what should we understand out of it ? That they are building a new distro ? Who they , why, how !? And why on his blog ? If he is talking about OSOL normal place would be under OSOL mailing list not on wordpress, blogspot ... In addition, if he is up to something he should first publish and set some minimal goals open to anybody *before* making a teleconference, announcing his work, project. He should gather opinions, if he wants community - for instance hosting, servers, contributions, members, names, colors etc etc... From day 0 ! I will keep quiet now, but at least thats my opinion. > It is quite hard to change people' mind and way of thinking.

I hope, we will. stefan _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
