[OmniOS-discuss] To the OmniOS Community

[Dan McDonald]

Dear OmniOS Community,

For the past 3+ years, it has been my pleasure and honor to be "OmniOS Engineering" at OmniTI. I hope I made OmniOS a nice platform to use for solving problems, whether they be Home-Data-Center, service-hosting box, network filer, or other uses.

As you saw, OmniTI is turning over OmniOS completely to the community.  The decision-making was sensible for OmniTI, and I understand it completely. With r151022, OmniOS should be at a nice long-term state (022 was always intended to be LTS).

I will be around OmniTI for another week (though on Friday the 19th my availability will be spotty).  During this next week, I encourage people to start upgrading or installing r151022 on their environments.  I already have updated it on my own HDC, and it seems to be performing as it has previously.  

Thank you again, OmniOS community, for making these past three years as rewarding as I'd hoped they'd be when I joined OmniTI. And as for OmniTI, if you need web or database consulting, please keep them in mind. Still a fan, even though I'm no longer with them.
