The new OGB has been very keen to get fresh communication with Sun  
flowing, especially since it's clear to all of us that the direction  
around OpenSolaris for Sun is crystallising and that affects all of  
us. I've been talking with Tim Cramer (the current contact Sun has  
designated for the OpenSolaris community) and I sincerely hope he will  
be able to give us a high-level view of Sun's plans very very soon  
(say, this coming weekend at the OGB town hall). I know he has some  
slides in preparation.
