Open Solaris CAB
The Open Solaris Community Advisory Board has been announced, check out the cab page on opensolaris.org.
Personally (but I would say this, wouldn't I) I think this is a fantastic line up, Roy Felding is an excellent choice as CAB chair (lets be fair here, Apache is probably the most high profile piece of open source on the planet, and it definately effects more people directly than any other piece of open source software), while from a Sun perspective Casper Dik is incredibly prolific on the various Solaris newsgroups and mailing lists (he is incredibly prolific internally as well, I don't know how he manages to get so much done), while Simon Phipps is a massive open source adovacate (I had the opportunity to attend a presentation Simon gave in Dublin a few years ago, and he is excellent to listen too).
The community elected members are Rich Teer and Al Hooper - Rich's Solaris Systems Programming Book is fantastic, and seeing as Al is originally from Dublin he can only be a good bloke ;). Pints are on me the next time your back.
