[osol-mktg] Distro Community Group proposal initiative

[Eric Boutilier]

Dear leaders of OpenSolaris based distros,

The purpose of this message is to seek your input/involvement in an
effort to create a "Distro Community Group" on opensolaris.org.

Please feel free to forward, post, or otherwise redistribute this
message in any way you see fit.

The initiative, which started today, aims to create a new
OpenSolaris Community Group for supporting distro Projects and
distro-related Projects. As you may know, Community Groups are the
official entities under which OpenSolaris Projects fall, and
therefore have substantial influence in the OpenSolaris Community.

We would value your comments in this effort to create a Distros
Community Group, as well as the comments of your users, developers,
and other advocates. And of course if you wish to become directly
involved, that would be even more valuable.

The discussion is taking place ("cross-posted") on two
mailing-lists: ug-discuss at opensolaris.org (the main User Groups
list) and opensolaris-mktg at opensolaris.org (the OpenSolaris
Marketing list).

I think the following post will provide you with a quick overview of
the current state of the initiative. But I also encourage you to
read the entire thread.
