[osol-mktg] OpenSolaris Anniversary Webcast -> Net Talk -> Take 10

[Michelle Olson]

+1 for Jim G. doing the first Take 10, he's totally inspirational and 
his slide presentations about this project are the tops.

Question: If the format is only audio with slides, how will we know 
who's talking if there's more than one person?

Thanks,
Michelle

>> Rich is absolutely right.  But I think there is a middle ground.  I 
>> think the Net Talk should involve both Tom and Jim.  Tom is an 
excellent 
>> voice for OpenSolaris, but frankly he's not prominent in the 
community, 
>> he doesn't have a blog and hasn't sent a single piece of mail on 
the 
>> OpenSolaris lists that I can find.
>> Jim is charismatic, enthusiastic, and serves as "the voice of the 
>> people" far better than anyone else.  Not only that, but as 
"OpenSolaris 
>> Community Manager", it really is his place.

>Let me preface by saying, I don't want to put any pressure on Jim. I 
>like the idea though of having them do this together. Sun gave us all 
>this code and infrastructure a year ago and that is something that 
Sun 
>would like to celebrate too, that's where Tom comes in. I think Jim 
and 
>Tom, as you say, are a good compromise.

>> Putting two power-houses together like Tom and Jim would best 
fulfill

>It's worth putting on the table.

>> As an aside, in the future it would be kool to have an interview

>> interested to peak behind the curtain a bit, especially with 
regards to 
>> people who aren't so visible, such as Stephen Harpster and Karyn 
>> Ritter.  I've had the fortunate privilege to meet most everyone but 
not 
>> many have or ever will.

>I totally agree Ben. The Tonic team are like the little hampsters 
behind

>those on the ITeam, once again volunteering people that haven't 
offered 
>yet :). We could do a Take 10 on the opensolaris.org infrastructure 
with 
>Derek. The builds with Stepehn Lau. That kind of thing. If we did one 
>with Jim on his own, he could talk about building a community.
