[OpenIndiana-discuss] [illumos-Discuss] branding for illumos/openindiana

[Blake]

:)

Clearly this is the sort of thing that the OpenIndiana group must choose to
do, if they agree.  I'll reiterate - I love OpenIndiana, and I want it to be
easily name-dropped and recognizable to even the hobbyist crowd.  These are
the folks who can help fix things in userland and the GUI.  If we really
want mindshare, that is.
