The CAB/OGB is pleased to recognize the sustained participation and
contribution of Roland Mainz and have him designated as an OpenSolaris
Core Contributor - with all the privilidges that this title confers.

Roland - you have attained an enviable repution within the OpenSolaris
community as the person who took on one of the most difficult and
contentious ON integration efforts to date. And you're an OpenSolaris
super-hero in my mind.  The Korn shell touches on so many parts of ON that
it's almost 100% guaranteed that there would be technical disagreement
from many different sources.  I know that this project has been very
difficult and time consuming and that you are the OpenSolaris pioneer in
many ways, debugging the contribution/integration process and ARC
processes - which probably seems like getting hit in the face by a 220lb
(100kg) hammer the first time you encounter them!.  Even the terminology
takes a bunch of getting used to! [1]

We (speaking for the CAB/OGB) are delighted to see you step up to the
plate and take on this challenge in a fearless, enterprising and
entrepreneurial fashion.  :)

[1] is it possible to have an ARC review without someone saying/writing
the word "taxonomy"!?  :)
