...and I somehow disagree with the provisional board. William, Bruce and Johann started the project. Correct me if I am wrong. AFAIK Johann doesn't have time anymore. Provided they he is still interested and has time the provisional board should start with these 3. They should decide who should join the provisional board. (In the first list of names, the name of Logical Error is missing.) Provided again that Chad will be part of the board and the board decides to choose GPL/LGPL , the il2cpu (which actually hasn't been announced officially on the SharpOS ML), if it wants to be part of SharpOS would have to obey to that license as well. And it should be in the SharpOS repository too even if only in the sandbox for the beginning as William said. Even if il2cpu, as Chad mentioned, is not targeting SharpOS only, it should still be very obvious that the kernel and all the code would rely on il2run, and there for it should be part of the SharpOS project. Another issue was that il2cpu is using LINQ that is not yet supported by mono (or at least not entirely). SharpOS *is* an open source project that shouldn't leave anyone out. And that should be respected. Solutions like using the linux TFC (is that the right name?) client (which is not free?) to only be able to contribute to il2run and then installing the ORcas Beta2, that no one knows for sure, when will come out, won't help developers getting involved with the project. And solutions like using only the binaries of il2cpu to develop the SharpOS if one developer doesn't want to install Orcas Beta2 or can't do that, won't improve the situation either. That is why the project should target .NET 2.0 IMHO. I, for one, am getting sick and tired of all the discussions that seem to lead nowhere. We should really go on with building the provisional board so that there will be some decisions made, before the whole talking tears the small SharpOS team/community apart. So that we can stop all the bashing and flaming and so on and start addressing the pitfalls like the documentation and start coding again so that we can make the first release. Chriss.
