Re: [zones-discuss] Company offering Zones hosting

If there is a moratorium on answering this type of question, is response only to be to that person and not to the group? Could someone define the rules I think it's up to the community to define the rules, and you are part of the community. Define away ;-) I do not think that the zone mailing list should be an advertising conduit. But should provide information about any zone question. How does the group feel in this list? I think replying to a question with 'We do X' or 'We use Y' hardly qualifies as an advert. -- Alan Burlison -- ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

Unless they're actually using Open Solaris directly, and there's some sort of obvious tie-in, it sounds to me more like a www.sun.com sort of thing. I guess I'm wondering if there's a desire for opensolaris.org to highlight opportunities to run on any one of the distributions, be it by burning and booting an ISO, or by using an OpenSolaris-based hosting provider. Probably something to discuss in opensolaris-mktg (or even cab-discuss, if you conclude it's too controversial). I see Al's made a supporting comment, so maybe best to move to Marketing and see if it's not just a zones thing--would plain hosting with any OpenSolaris distribution be worth a mention? - Stephen -- Stephen Hahn, PhD Solaris Kernel Development, Sun Microsystems [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://blogs.sun.com/sch/ ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org

I'm not too opposed to seeing happily used by links on opensolaris.org, though there's probably a fuzzy line there between promoting Open Solaris and just plain old advertising. It might be better still if this were somehow an automatically- generated assemblage of www.$distribution.com/happy-users links, so that each distribution would get a chance to post and maintain the contacts they know about. The original message posted here, though, was about S10. Perhaps it's a too-pedantic distinction to be made, but it seems to me that citing this on opensolaris.org as evidence of the utility of Open Solaris might be a bit risky. It's not actually Open Solaris, though it is Zones. -- James Carlson, KISS Network[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 ___ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
