</tt><tt>For my own future, I have already decided to switch back
to OpenIndiana, the community based sister project of OmniOS.
But like many users, I have yet OmniOS installations running
perfectly. For them, it is essential to ask about the future for
the next months or year and needed next steps (can wait some
time or switch as soon as possible).</tt><tt><br>

</tt><tt>- Are you willing to transfer the website/name either to
a new OmniOS community project (I cannot see this as an option
regarding the silence about) or to the OpenIndiana community to
use it as a name for a possible stable like OpenIndiana
Hipster=dev and OpenIndiana OmniOS as a stable subset? (if OI is
willing to go that route but the request or offer must come from
OmniTi or OmniOS people).</tt><tt> <br>
</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>OmniOS has a very strong reputation regarding production
quality and stability, so such a step would help both if
OpenIndiana and OmniOS would cooperate in a common project. </tt><tt>Seems
a pity if the name would die or remain as a name for a failed
project.<br>
