[oi-dev] OpenIndiana and illumos

[Julian Wiesener]

Hi,

i agree with Alasdair in the most points, goal should be an 
Oracle-Indipendend OS based on Illumos.

I don't think that we aktually need just more developers. What we need 
is a project structure that matches the size of the developers team 
under respect of the time the people in that team like to spend on OI. 
Our current bi-week goals, large commitiee crowds and very responding 
consolidation leads is keeping peoplefrom picking up lead jobs, because 
they're not payed half-/full-time developers and don't want to dedicate 
the whole life beside of dayjob and sleeping to OI. As anyone may have 
noticed, more than two weeks have passed since our last release. Also it 
is unrealisic to belive, that future codedrops from oracle will be 
easier to integrate (we can't stay on KVM-less ON_147 with future XNV, 
we can't more to KMS-less Illumos XNV). If our reality is currently that 
we cannot build a Release in two months, there is no sense in planing 
for bi-weekly releases.
I agree with Alasdair that we should finisch 148 first, since it is an 
improvement to 147 and mostly done (g11n dropped as before). And i also 
think we should move on with a illumos based >=149 next. But we should 
find a structure that allows progress first.

Actually i'm on that HR list, and actually i'm not getting me into any 
"Leading" role as long as the goals does not match the time i like to 
spend on OI. I would take responsibility for one Consolidation under 
different goals, as i also still like to help any consolidation that 
have a leader wich accept and live the current bi-weekly goals. 
Unfortunetly it seems noone (including Alasdair) does at now.


Regards,
Julian


PS: i really would appreciate if you could keep chatting at oi-discuss. 
oi-dev today send me 15 mails of which 13 are not oi-development 
relatet, partial not even OI related at all. I don't care who's a nut 
and what userland ubuntu is about, sometimes a small statement can and 
should be ignored.
