     @ssharwood technically it's not a separate team any more, but a subset of folks in the Solaris FOSS package maintainers team who take care of the GNOME & X11 packages for Solaris. Much smaller than the days when we were developing our own stuff and not just passing through third party packages.

     @alanc I'm surprised that team still exists!

     @unixben I do still have this GNOME hat from when Sun first announced it was bringing GNOME to Solaris…

     @alanc more than Linux on the desktop, Solaris at least had a hat!
