I would like to share with you some insights about this promotion thing,
since in previious period, I was still giving away 2009.06 CD's together
with OI update and Illumos/S11ex story to tell.

Let's get further along the technical track and realize some of the code, stability, and feature goals first, and then decide if a name change, probably as part of a concerted promotion and evangelizing campaign for the "new" system, is the way we want to go. We can hang on to all the suggestions so far, even make a place to accept new ideas, or we can wait to come up with ideas if that's the direction things go later.
