[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI roadmap (for production)

[the outsider]

How far is the foundation of this foundation? 

Would it be an idea to create an international pool of students to work on OI? 

In Holland companies have trainee possibilities for polytechnic students, it would be possible to let them work on OI (partially). 
Personally i would like to focus on a secure(=patched) server environment of OI and that will take lots of work. 

In this new digital world borders are gone and people can work together easily around the world. 
With SVN, Git, skype, irc and so on there are no limits. 

I hope OI will survive in the next coming years.

Br,

Roelof

Dear Bob,

I would like to see a foundation registered in the UK in early 2016 to receive donations and sponsorship similar to Libre Office.This will help with some of the development objectives outlined.
