I just checked the opensolaris.org database. There are now 70,300 people in there. Not bad.

Do you have a source IP for each one of these registered users? It would be interesting to see the breakdown by country of origin. :)

The vast majority are from the U.S. and Western Europe, but Eastern Europe, India, and China are moving up fast now. As far as really specifying each country, I'll have to check on that. :)

"In software, ideas are expressed in code.
The
implementation
is the
idea. If an idea has not been
implemented, it is premature to call it an 'idea' -- it
is rather a notion, a daydream or perhaps a fancy. If one has such
a thought, the first order of business is not to send out proposals or
give speeches or navigate through process but rather to sit down and
write some code: build a prototype, share it with some like-minded
people, incorporate their feedback, expand the community and iterate.
If one does this and one's ideas are sound,
the process naturally follows; people naturally
gravitate to good ideas."
"Having
your voice listened to is a privilege, not a right, and it's a
privilege that's earned in proportion to the contribution level, not
volume level."
