You still haven't said whether you ant this for Sun or for
OpenSolaris.

If it's for Sun, then the publicly available information is on the
www.sun.com web site, and with the various SEC filings.

If it's for OpenSolaris, then +1 on having some sort of automated
"who's who" directory based on OpenSolaris role, project/community
affiliation, and so forth.  Surely, the data does exist somewhere in
the bowels of the web site infrastructure.  What's missing is a
browser.

It sounds like this belongs with the website mailing list first and
(if necessary) the OGB.

"Product" is what makes that request difficult.  You're asking about
commercial information at that point, and that's not something we can
disclose.  Ever, really.  If one thing has been made quite clear, it's
that we're not allowed to talk about Sun's internal organization.

(This is by no means unique or unusual with Sun.  At my previous
employer, I received a nice letter from a lawyer -- suitable for
framing -- that falsely accused me of taking that sort of information
with me when I left my employer previous to that.  All because that
previous employer's recruiter managed to find and snag some good
people from that ex-ex-employer.  Companies, at least in the US, take
this stuff very seriously.)

... but just for the community.
