OpenSolaris Weekly News #60

Hey there,
Unfortunately this is going to be the last OpenSolaris Weekly News while I am
editor of it - it's just been too difficult to devote the time given my current
commitments.
I believe this is a *HUGELY IMPORTANT* role in the community that needs some
enthusiasm, love, and hard work and an awesome way of personally keeping up to
date on what's happening. You don't need a strong technical knowledge of the
project to contribute, just some awareness of what may or may not be the
interesting bits from the various mailing lists.
Sorry everyone, I know a lot of people are reading this - I'd just like to focus
my energy on other initiatives right now.
Thanks,
Glynn

BeleniX, including some of the missing libraries that aren't yet available in
the X consolidation. Martin Bochnig posted [2] a delivery of packages for Xorg
on SPARC.

together and have a good time.

Stephen Hahn asked [4] whether the posting of job advertisements would be
suitable for opensolaris.org, with mutual agreement despite a list of possible
questions [5] for appropriateness. After some discussion, Stephen created [6]
opensolaris-jobs, a moderated alias with a team to figure out what was and
wasn't acceptable.

original community re-organization proposal.
