I believe 3 things must happen to keep the community going: 1. The existing Core contributors speaks out their intention here and satisfied the OGB basic requirements which is reasonable for a community. 2. Some active participants in the community step up and take on more active role and be a core contributor. 3. Each core contributor must be committed to make some form of contributions either in discussion or direction actively. The thought of of "Printing out of sight out of mind" should be not be allowed :) So Paul, will you consider 2 and 3 ? I am putting my name forwards as a core contributor, should the existing 'active' contributors want to take me on. So let the discussion continue! -Ghee > > paul > >> >>> Peter Tribble wrote: >>>> The Printing community has less than the required minimum of >>>> 3 Core Contributors to govern its affairs and, according to the >>>> OpenSolaris >>>> constitution, should be terminated.
