[ug-discuss] Re: [osol-mktg] Sponsor Project Indiana

[Alexey Ushakov]

Hello,

I'm novice in ug-discuss and opensolaris-mktg, so would like to ask if 
someone could clarify what does sponsorship of the opensource project 
mean. Actually, I'm working in J2SE and we are also have a bunch of 
requests for sponsorship but so far we didn't get clear explanation of 
the meaning of this term. So, probably because OpenSolaris started long 
time ago there is some terminology that we should know when dealing with 
the community.

Best Regards,
Alexey
