| 17 March, 2010 | gat | Request for new information on new releases to be published on the opensolaris main sites.
Most major open source operating systems release apha, beta, and release candidate information to allow users to test the new release. Also, simply to let users interact with the production system. This is an important feature of non-(Apple,)Microsoft operating systems. I think that both opensolaris.org and opensolaris.com should both feature more of this type of information. When the month that the new release comes (after the extra month of being withheld) videos demonstrating how new the 2009.06 release is should not be seen on opensolaris.com. It just seems that attention is only given to the current release on the websites, with the exception of genunix.org. This seems odd because it is almost falsely advertising that the stuff that was new then hasn't been improved, nor new stuff added. |
| 23 March, 2010 | gtirloni | Community Reports on a Quarterly basis.
Releasing the community/status reports more frequently would increase awareness about the project ongoing activities both inside and outside the community. Projects could detail their last accomplishments as well as ask for help where needed. It would also provide visibility for people involved in the projects which helps improve motivation and gather new volunteers. |
