I dislike and hate injustice. Therefore I bring this into memory once again:
---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Martin Bochnig <[email protected]> Date: Mon, Mar 1, 2010 at 9:06 AM Subject: Nomination of Moinak Ghosh for OGB 10/11 election (!!!OpenSolaris distro from SUN owes it’s origin to BeleniX.!!!) To: OpenSolaris Governing Board Discussions <[email protected]>, Moinak Ghosh <[email protected]> It is my pleasure to nominate Moinak Ghosh for the 2010/11 OGB. Why? Because of his outstanding distro building expertise {#0} && {#1}. {#0} http://moinakg.wordpress.com/ http://moinakg.wordpress.com/2009/09/22/kde-4-3-1-available-on-belenix/ http://www.belenix.org/content/LiveCD-Architecture-Overview http://www.belenix.org/content/LiveCD-Features-Timeline {#1} http://blogs.sun.com/dminer/entry/constructing_an_opensolaris_distro Where it reads (and I can confirm this) : "In addition few people may know that the OpenSolaris distro from SUN owes it’s origin to BeleniX. Every technology that I developed for BeleniX during the 2.5 yrs prior to OpenSolaris-Distro coming out was used. In fact the first Beta release was based on BeleniX 0.4.1 with IPS and Caiman installer put in and KDE replaced by Gnome – I was part of the core team working on that! See LiveCD Architecture Overview Diagram and LiveCD Features Timeline. Sadly there is not even a shred of information or documentation that alludes to this except for a sole reference in the OpenSolaris Bible." (and of course BeleniX at first took much from Joerg Schilling's SchilliX in 2005) In that sense: Go folks, and elect those who know how to create! (and who at the same time really do deserve the most honors) -- %martin bochnig martux.org _______________________________________________ indiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/indiana-discuss
