OpenSolaris Website Content Guidelines

General Information

The OpenSolaris Website Content Guidelines are published by the OpenSolaris Program Team.

opensolaris.org is a community website. The content on the site and within the site's mail lists should consist of only relevant information and discussion about OpenSolaris.

These guidelines are to help users contribute to the community and use the resources available in the intended way. The OpenSolaris Terms of Use and Privacy Policy cover the legal aspects of opensolaris.org, and community members are encouraged to consult these documents.

How do I report abuse?

To report a message that violates the Terms of Use, such as spam, send a mail with a link to the message to [help AT opensolaris DOT org].

If you believe that your account may have been compromised, please send mail with your account user name to [help AT opensolaris DOT org].

A member of our team will respond to your report as soon as possible.

Individual Communities

Each community drives its own content and is responsible for populating its pages and adhering to this policy and the TOU.

Communities can link to resources outside opensolaris.org as long as the TOU is followed.

New communities can be requested by posting a proposal to the discuss list for evaluation and comment by the community and the OpenSolaris Program Team.

Mail Lists

Each community is responsible for the proper management of their mailing lists. Lists are subject to review based on the TOU and may be suspended or removed due to insufficient traffic or poor management of non-member message postings.

Insufficient traffic is defined as

• No posts in the last month;
• Or less than 3 posts in the last 3 months.

Main OpenSolaris Pages

The OpenSolaris Program Team will evaluate and post content to the main pages and any sub domains. Content on the website and email aliases should be focused on developer issues, related technical content, and other ways to contribute to the OpenSolaris community.

The Related Links page will be updated via requests made to the discuss list for community feedback. Requests will be evaluated and updated by the OpenSolaris Program Team.

The external News and OpenSolaris Events pages will be updated by participants in the marketing community.

The Announcements page is for major and/or project-wide news. Community members may make announcements by sending mail to the announce list where it will be distributed to the community, archived, and, upon request, evaluated by the OpenSolaris Program Team for placement on the main Announcements page.

To add blogs, make a request to add-my-blog at sun dot com with your name, blog link, and blog feed.

Suggestions for content changes to other parts of the site — such as Project Overview, FAQ Center, Roadmap, Site Map, Events, and any sub domains — can be made via the website-discuss list.

Website feature requests can be directed to the website-discuss mail list.

Website Maintenance

The OpenSolaris operation team regularly updates the OpenSolaris website to maintain system performance and add new features. These updates may require the entire website infrastructure — or specific applications, such as server mail or the source code management system — to be unavailable for scheduled periods of time.

The information below details our scheduled maintenance procedures.

• Regular website maintenance will be scheduled for Tuesdays between 6-8 AM (PT), whenever possible.

• If a machine will be down for less than 30 minutes we will provide at least 3 hours notification on both the opensolaris-discuss and the website-discuss mailing lists.

• If a machine is going be down for more than 30 minutes we will provide 3 days of notification time on both the opensolaris-discuss and the website-discuss mailing lists.

If you have experienced a problem with an application after an upgrade, please contact the website-discuss mailing list to report the specific problem you encountered.

Content Review

Technical articles for the Articles page require review. The article's sponsor drives review of the document for technical accuracy, and requests that the OpenSolaris Program Team publish the article on the Articles page.

Dispute Resolution

We shall follow the Community Advisory Board's dispute resolution policy when published. If disputes occur before then, they will be resolved by the OpenSolaris Program Team.

Updates

This policy will be updated regularly to reflect changes in the community or the program. The policy may also be updated when the OpenSolaris Charter and Governance is ratified.
