OGB Questions from the DTrace Community

March 9, 2007 12:20 am General

Bryan posted a couple of well thought out questions on behalf of the DTrace community, so given that we’re supposed to be in the campaigning period, I thought I’d post a link to my answers. A lot of the questions were about licensing issues and specific points about the constitution. What I’d love to see now is some meaty questions dealing with community interaction, infrastructure and how we can grow going forward. It will be interesting to see how the current test poll answers some of the priorities of the core contributors in the project.

FWIW, having looked at the test poll, the questions are somewhat confusing, in that prioritizing one item would automatically include another. In any case, here are my answers given that it’ll give people a better idea of where I stand wrt to my candidacy –

  1. Create an infrastructure project to run opensolaris.org (‘Infrastructure’)
  2. Reorganize the existing Community/Project organization (‘Reorganize_Community’)
  3. Deploy a public defect management system (‘Defect_Mgmt’)
  4. Replace opensolaris.org tools with an open source CMS or wiki (‘New_CMS’)
  5. Deploy a public wiki on opensolaris.org (‘Wiki’)
  6. Replace or remove Jive forum interface (‘No_Jive’)
  7. Deploy a public code review facility on opensolaris.org (‘Code_Review’)
  8. Deploy a public Request To Integrate (RTI) system (‘RTI’)
  9. Remove inactive Communities or Projects (‘Remove_Inactive’)
  10. Eliminate reliability issues with opensolaris.org web pages (‘Reliability’)
  11. Provide an x86/AMD64-based kernel/project build facility (‘X64_Build’)
  12. Provide a SPARC-based kernel/project build facility (‘SPARC_Build’)
