Seems like Opensolaris brand provisions are still enabled and can not be 
bring down and that User group is also about Oralce products and those 
based on illumos, that are free software.

Actually if Opensolaris governing board haven't decide to dismantle 
Opensolaris distribution, it would continue to live.
It stays it is true that Opensolaris brand is owned by Oracle and that 
it is clever to have your own name, but when you have Opensolaris type 
of regional organisation,
it is also obvious that it is also about illumos based distributions and 
Oracle products.
It would be nice to have also illumos or Openindiana type of user group 
branding, but Opensolaris in a name for a group is all people have been 
using still.
