OGB_future_agenda_items

Any OpenSolaris Member may submit items for a future OGB agenda by adding the item to this OGB future agenda items wiki page. OGB Members or the OGB Secretary may add any item on this list to the agenda for the next meeting if they believe those items to be sufficiently mature.
"Sufficiently mature" items will:
  • have been socialised among the OGB,
  • have an OGB "sponsor"
  • have a motion or discussion brief prepared on a wiki page, together with a summary of the discussion to date,
  • be ready for a discussion likely to lead to significant progress or a definitive decision at the OGB meeting.
Date Added Who What
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.
