If I was a CC I would vote for you right away. Good luck!

I really hope we can get Oracle to make OpenSolaris really 100% open and not this “selective” openness that we see today.

I voted for the new constituition as well as for you. This will be my third year in a row that I voted for you. I am also a free and OPEN source software advocate and the items on my mind of late is growing the community, and opening or replacing the closed bins. Lastly I would like to see OpenSolaris as a platform that can fully build and bootstrap itself in an open way without being so horribly tricky and technical that a motivated user could not just “do it”. The problem is .. I love the Sun Studio compiler tools and those are not open. Maybe we can not have everything.

Thanks Ché, appreciated!

My biggest concern is that the new Constitution won’t be adopted. If that happens I’ll resign (assuming I’m elected) as there’s no way I want to spend another year with governance as the main agenda item. It’s time to move on.

I wish you success in the election Simon and I am glad you are sticking around despite leaving Sunacle, it shows that you are truly passionate about the community and open source.
