Hi all,
I have had a look through the wiki and am getting stuck, first because I
do not know the state of the union and have not followed what has
already been done ... I only just joined.
I am unsure of what has been done on the build part, we were supposed to
use oi-build, which had been
All,
Luca, I sort of agree ... ok, I am just some random tech writer (with
some dev skills in KSH, Java) who likes Solaris and would love to
contribute to this project. The problem I see is vision - we probably
need to find a way to get a FreeBSD driver wrapper, akin to ndis - it
does not

That's not stealing. The explicit licensing of both projects allows
such borrowing of code to the benefits of collaboration, as well as
adding extra eyeballs to review
I think the main problem of OI is not the lack of leadership or man power.
I think the main problem is the focus of this distro.
Making a desktop distribution without any support of recent hardware is a no-
go, because nobody will be interested in a distro that doesn't support KMS or
WiFi.
Thanks for your words, Alasdair,
Strong leadership and a very very large investment in man-hours.
I imagine people do want to contribute, and would, if they had an easy way to
do so, with
documentation and guidance and a helping hand.
Absolutely yes !!!
I hope the effort will continue.
Absolutely agree with both Alasdair's and Jose's words.
Obviously OI has an uphill struggle ahead, I think it's greatest
problem, at least, at the moment, is lack of information for visitor's -
especially first timers.
OI has by far the best 'presence' on the internet thanks to google and
I've tried to stay away from commenting on this thread, but….
The problem with OI is lack of sufficient man power and leadership. There are
other problems as well (vision is one I referred to in the past).
But most urgently, to keep OI going, with any kind of cadence, it needs more

Hi GB,
If you're looking to move to a new OpenSolaris derived distro (i.e. based on

all the kernel/core userland development takes place across all distros) then
there are many choices

If you're coming from OpenBSD, this shouldn't be at all alarming.

October 2012 was six months ago. Complaining that this was how long we've had
to wait since the last oi release is directly relevant to OP's familiarity with

before telling someone their opinion is lame, Ken.
