- The OGB has noted all the comments made publicly and privately and has now published the final proposal for the new Constitution.
- We believe this new document simplifies and clarifies the community governance to match our actual practice and realistic expectations.
- The current OGB is unanimously in favor of the new constitution and recommends a 'Yes' vote.
- Meeting of Members
- Under the terms of the existing Constitution, we have to gather a quorum of the voting membership on irc://irc.freenode.net/#opensolaris-meeting starting at noon US/Pacific on Thursday, February 25th. Quorum has been achieved.
- Please log in to the IRC channel and announce yourself in the format "ogbot register <your OS.o ID> as <your name>" (without the quotes, duh!)
- There is a bot monitoring the channel and recording these announcements as well as all channel discussion (logs)
- All comments made after the start of the meeting will be recorded by the bot as minutes of the meeting.
- Feel free to use the IRC channel to ask, or indeed answer, any questions about the election. The current OGB can be identified as channel operators on the IRC channel.
