yah, I agree with this as well as Ben´s comments about the new distro 
helping to put things back on track by reaching new people. It´s a new 
opportunity for everyone. One of the reasons I like talking to students 
and people from /outside/ the US is that they generally don´t have any 
pre-conceived notions about OpenSolaris and most of them could care less 
about all the competitive stuff going on in the US. During the last two 
years, Í´ve experienced a lot of positive energy about OpenSolaris, and 
I´d like for that to come to the main project on these lists as well ...
