The community was those who showed up in person or on IRC for the
hackathon announced in opensolaris-announce, and hung around afterwards.
(I was there in IRC most of the way from the hackathon to announce.)

And would be a lot harder to find in google searches or register domain
names for.   OpenIndiana is unique, Indiana is very very overloaded.
