Community ? / general lack of clue

• Sun – eager to build an OO.o community

  • Instant community: – just add 'visionaries'
    • Proliferation of 'Marketing Projects', with 'Leads'
  • Extreme mailing list noise ...

• SourceCast – formal, role-based, hierarchical

  • Extraordinary depth of features / from Apache etc.
  • Want to do something new ?
    • Ask for a 'incubator project', propose vote, wait fortnight, vote ...
  • Highly ACL'd CVS structure / permissions / roles
  • ~All substantial projets owned by full-time Sun guys
  • Possibly very useful for an established project

• CVS takes up to an hour to fully tag ...

• 'Community Council' – uh ?
