I would like to nominate myself as a Core Contributor, having
implemented several zones features (labeled zones, defrouter, cross-zone
FIFOs, etc.). FYI, Trusted Extensions is also using branded zones at
this time and has an active case to for a new brand called "labeled". I
am currently a Core Contributor in the Security Community, and active in
the Zones community,

OGB election season is approaching again, so it's time to begin our annual
review of Contributor & Core Contributor grants for the Zones community.
See "BACKGROUND" below for more background on this process.
At this time I would also like to propose that we merge the BrandZ and
Zones communities. These two activities are interrelated, and it's
easiest if I start with the merger first.
1. PROPOSED BRANDZ COMMUNITY MERGER
All contributor grants for the BrandZ community are due to expire this month.
I would like to propose the merger of the BrandZ community into the Zones
community at this time. This is in some ways reflective of the work done
in the past two years by Jerry Jelinek to broaden the scope of the BrandZ
infrastructure. Today, all zones are branded (even "native" ones). And
the same team now owns the charter for both technologies.
Having spoken to several of the core contributors of the zones community,
the BrandZ community, and to an OGB member, I am at this time recommending
that we utilize article 7.12 ("Termination", see below) of the OpenSolaris
Constitution, and allow all of the contributor grants in the BrandZ
community to expire. This will terminate the community.
The communities will forward to the OGB their recommendation that, under
article 7.12, the BrandZ community's contents should be merged with the
Zones community. We will ensure that web content related to BrandZ is not
lost, and the brandz-discuss mailing list will continue on. That is to
say, except for less bureaucratic overhead, everything will be the same as
before. The zones community will take extend sponsorship to all projects
sponsored by the BrandZ community. No specific changes to the "project"
structure are proposed here, only a reparenting.
For reference, article 7.12 states:
7.12. Termination. A Community Group is terminated by act of
the OGB or by reduction of its named Core Contributors to a
number less than three (3). Upon termination, the OGB may
re-initiate the Community Group with a new set of Core
Contributors or reassign the resources that were assigned to
the Community Group, such as mailing lists, forums, and website
information, to the at-large community or to some other
Community Group of the OGB's choosing.
