Hi Tim,
Thanks for submitting this proposal to website-discuss so quickly
(for those not on the OGB call - we discussed the matter and Tim's
proposal at yesterday's meeting).
I think this proposal sounds good. I'm not a Website CG leader, but
I would encourage those leaders to support this proposal. I certainly
think Sun deserves some space on the front page given their financial,
engineering, and staffing support for the opensolaris.org site. As long
as that information is clearly delineated from community space (which
still gets reviewed by the Website CG), I see no problem with this proposal.
cheers,
steve
