Like minded individuals let's start working on an "OpenSolaris.org" distro rig

This thread is for those that *ARE* interested in seeing an
OpenSolaris hosted distribution come to fruition.

I am starting this in the approach-discuss community,
because it is as
good a CG (Community Group) as any. I have cross posted to
many other
communities that *I* felt might want to be a part of this
discussion.

I have also included the Blastwave community. (Blastwave
folks, send
an email to approach-discuss-subscribeopensolaris.org if you want
to
be a part of the discussion). I apologize in advance for
this massive
cross posting. I also hope that i did not leave out any CG,
or
individual that should have been included. (Please feel free
to let
them know to subscribe to approach-discuss)

What this thread is *NOT*:
--------------------------------------
This thread is *NOT* a thread were it is appropriate to
stage your
resistance to an OpenSolaris branded distro. (There are
plenty of
those going on as well)

This thread is *NOT* to discuss how to propose this an
official
project. (too soon in my opinion)

This thread is *NOT* a thread about opensolaris.org
governance. (There
are plenty of those going on)

What this thread *IS*:
--------------------------------
This thread *IS* for discussing the logistics of building
this
distribution. Appropriate topics would include what needs to
be done,
who is willing to do what, and what are our common goals.

Proposals:
----------------
I propose that, for the time being, we use the
approach-discussopensolaris.org as our discussion forum.
(Please
register ASAP)

I also propose that if you are in favor of this distro
coming to be,
that you respond to this thread. Please do this even if you
can not
contribute. It will give other like minded individuals moral
support.
;)

I also propose referring to this project as OSH (Just so we
have a
non-controversial name to call it). Naming is something that
should be
addressed later. Please, let's not belabor this point.

I also propose that we need to reach out to the current
distros, to
see if they would like to be involved in contributing to
this distro.
(Any volunteers?)

Thank You,
Brian Gupta

P.S. - Please note, that from now on, when I say should, or
is, or do,
there is an automatic I feel/think/suspect/wonder/please
added in
front of it. 
P.S.S. - This is really the time to step up and reply, if
you are in
favor of this.

OSH = "Orchid Supply Hardware", a hardware chain
much like ACE,
but without John Madden.  Do you care?

I find it strange that it is to be assumed that such a
distribution is a 
"good
thing" on this group.  You say this discussion is
happening elsewhere;
could you point at those *ongoing* discussions?

That said, it seems like you are asking people to sign-up to
make this
happen without the benefit being understood nor the costs
being detailed.
I don't know about others, but I don't make that kind of
commitment
for anything.

However, if the purpose of this discussion is to detail the
costs, while the
benefits are being pursued in some other discussion, then
I'm all for it.
Is it?
