[OmniOS-discuss] Legal next steps

[Linda Kateley]

I would be happy to be part of any board or committee. I have alot of 
experience with a number of different communities and what's successful 
and what's not. The one that fascinates me is open stack, mostly with 
the funding and participation they get...

And Dan would love to hear all the stories
