[oi-dev] OpenIndiana Code of Conduct

[Fabrizio Chierzi]

Hi to everybody, my name's Fabrizio Chierzi and I'm an Italian Unix Fan
from the late 80's. I was very kind of OpenSolaris during its existence, I
was very sad about its ending, but I was very happy when I heard about
OpenIndiana and Illumos projects. I subscribed myself to the mailing list
of that project and I'm still very glad of doing that at that time. I like
OpenIndiana. Regularly I see the home page project and I see that the
project make progresses, slower than I expected, but it makes progresses.
At the same time I read on the net the media reception about that OS.
>From Wikipedia:
1) A September 2013 DistroWatch review stated that the OpenIndiana project
has "seemingly been in steady decline for the last couple of years". The
same review concluded that OpenIndiana had not progressed significantly
from the state of OpenSolaris five years before:
"Running OpenIndiana today feels much the same as running OpenSolaris five
years ago, the tools are mostly the same, the desktop is the same. The
software included is starting to show its age and I don't feel any truly
significant features have been introduced in the past few years. I'm sure
the developers behind the project are doing a good job of hunting down bugs
and keeping drivers current, and that is great. Still, I feel as though
OpenIndiana is treading water, not progressing in any meaningful way."
2) A May 2015 DistroWatch review of OpenIndiana similarly concluded that
little major progress had been made to the system over the years. The
review stated that the package selection and hardware support seemed to lag
behind other systems, while many of the system administration features have
either replicated or ported to Linux and BSD. The review concludes that:
"While OpenIndiana appears to still be stable and functional, it also gives
the impression of being stuck in the past, possibly due to a lack of
developers willing to work on the project. OpenIndiana runs and may still
be useful in situations where, for various reasons, the administrator
really needs a version of Solaris, but it seems to me as though OpenIndiana
has not moved forward in the past seven years. The operating system still
features some great ideas and good technology, but it does not appear to
have made any progress in recent years."
Obviously a conduct code is necessary to avoid animated discussions, but as
a paradox the discussion about that conduct code evolved on a publicly
animated discussion. There is the serious risk of loosing people for the
community due to that. There is a lot of work to do to improve this
beautiful OS and all the efforts in that direction is in my opinion are the
priority of the community. And these efforts need peacefulness. I wish to
everybody all the best
Fabrizio Chierzi
