Hi, FYI, I don't believe we've used call-out boxes to announce project work or project participation so far. Email to opensolaris-announce has been used which scrolls on the front page. Is there a reason email to opensolaris-announce is not a good idea here?
I'm not necessarily against doing this, but before doing it, I would like us to discuss where we're heading if we do this and figure out general parameters and guidelines. Are we going to let any projects announce anything this way? Are we going to announce every time any company joins a project (we did not do this for Intel and I believe we have some storage companies involved in storage projects)? What is the time-frame that a box would remain on the front page for this kind of announcement? Etc. I just want us to think this through, and if we do it, I'd like the editorial board to outline guidelines to be followed so that what we're establishing is clear. Thanks.
