Community voted for a more SUN influenced OpenSolaris.org ?

Posted in OpenSolaris, OpenSource, Solaris & OpenSolaris on March 28th, 2008 by Michal Bielicki

Todays results of the OGB elections show quite a strong trend in the opensolaris.org community towards stronger impact and influence from SMI I think. 6 out of 7 elects are SMI employees, there is an influx of more senior SUN people and all over it seems that everybody who was screaming for SUN to give more power to the community has been voted out of the OGB by exactly that community he wanted to represent having more power. Fun. No polls needed I guess than. Stronger SMI influence it is, Indiana is the way to go forward as elected by the community.

I must say I like this since it fits to my line of thought.

A big thank you to the 2007 OGB

Posted in OpenSolaris, OpenSource on March 11th, 2008 by Michal Bielicki

Before I start writing again abut what I want for the OGB  and get lost in election talks, I want to thank each and every member of the OGB for their great work done for the last year. Especially I would like to thank Glynn for being the 24/7 OGB person, accessible at the weirdest hours with the weirdest questions and requests which he always answered and worked on with inhuman patience. Great Job guys, no matter what.
