Thank you for your insights, but I have to asksome historical questions:

Why at that time, OSOL governing board did not continue the Opensolaris 
distribution under new name, using existing infrastructure, code and 
manpower outside Sun and/or making new infrastructure and distribution 
under new name? Or under same name etc.

Why it was not possible to have decisions? Is it because decisions were 
dependent on Sun Employees that were not being able to be contacted anymore?
