[osol-mktg] Community Consolidation -- Marketing & UGs

[Jim Grisanzio]

Hello ...

I'd like to propose that we merge the Marketing Community and the User 
Group Community:

   http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/marketing/
   http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/

It seems to me that both communities could benefit from a merger -- 
especially under the new OpenSolaris Constitution. Both communities have 
many things in common -- they engage new people around the world via 
various programs and direct meetings and conferences, their list 
memberships are pretty similar, and they share some content as well. It 
would seem to make sense that they merge to focus their resources on 
some common goals and under a new name.

I'm starting this conversation here so we can flush out the issues and 
agree (or not agree) before we go to the website team and the OGB, both 
of which will have to be involved in any merger.

So, any thoughts pro or con?

Jim
