OpenSolaris – OS Defined

July 20, 2005 4:12 am General

So it’s quite nice to see the new Desktop Community getting a lot of visibility and getting off the ground. Definitely very motivating where there’s that level of interest. There’s so much to do as well, and I’m suddenly finding myself in discussions left, right and center. Last night some of the team met with Stephen Harpster, my boss’ boss’ boss, or something like that. Very clued in guy, and was great to have a good conversation about how we’re approaching the thing – I even wrote up a Desktop Community presentation for the occasion. It’s all pretty obvious, but there’s some interesting open questions that we don’t yet have answers for [some of specific only to Sun], that we’ll be working on over the next couple of weeks.

Reminds me – really need to work on the Desktop Community website. If you feel like helping out, get in touch and we can throw up some content. Otherwise I fear I’m going to be pulling a lot of content out of my ass over the next few days!

Ooh, I got a mention in ZDNet again. Also interesting to read Stephen’s reaction to the Linux 2.6 and Solaris 10 study.

Like the topic? – it’s my corny reply to Claire’s mail on the ‘Based on OpenSolaris’ wordmark.
