The LDoms team requested that an LDoms community be created in keeping with the existing BrandZ, Xen and Zones communities (i.e. created on an equal footing to those communities). We asked for an LDoms community so that we could get up and running now independently of discussions to create an overall Virtualization community. > I don't quite agree, but in our last OGB meeting, we did approve the > LDoms community proposal. > > Going ahead with a virtualization community that _doesn't_ involve > LDoms seems much more feasible to me. The LDoms community would be happy to be part of an umbrella Virtualization community involving the BrandZ, LDoms, Xen and Zones communities (or as projects - depending on what OS.o process is ultimately decided on). Once the LDoms Community have a place to put email lists, webpages and code repositories the discussions that are LDoms specific can happen there and the discussions and collaborations that span all the communities can happen in the Virtualization community. Hopefully as the LDoms community comes up to speed, those of us who have not been vocal on OS.o aliases can contribute more to all the communities. The LDoms community would be more that satisfied to be part of an overall cohesive virtualization community -- Liam _______________________________________________ zones-discuss mailing list zones-discuss@opensolaris.org
