OpenSolaris Governance
Work on the OpenSolaris Governance is very nearly complete - almost at 'Release candidate' stage. If you are in any way interested in how the OpenSolaris Community will govern itself, I recommend you go take a look and then give feedback on the CAB DIscuss forum/list.
If you've been wondering what has happened to the CAB Elections, they're coming as soon as the governance is released - the limit in the Charter was reached, and rather than blowing up the nearly-complete work, Sun chose to request the existing CAB to finish its work.
