[OmniOS-discuss] Questions about - End the uncertainty -

[Guenther Alka]

*about OmniOS**and the silence for weeks*

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).


*@**OmniTi*
The end of OmniOS at OmniTi seems final.

- How long will the website and the repo remain online?

- Is there an option to fix serious bugsor problems in OmniOS @OmniTi for
a limited time like 1 year or at least end of the year?

- 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).

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. Seems a pity if the name would die 
or remain as a name for a failed project.


*@OmniOS developers*(current or former - you have done a very good job!)

- Is there an option to fix serious bugs or problems in OmniOS for a 
limited time like 1 year or at least end of the year? This would help 
until a sucessor (less likely OmniOS 151024, maybe next OpenIndiana snap 
with a stable subset) is available. LX would then remain an OmniOS 
option in the meantime (I would not dare to ask about an upstream).
