Winners Have Been Announced!

Sun Announces Winners of OpenSolaris Community Innovation Awards

Some of our winners were honored in person at the keynote address at Sun Tech Days in Sao Paulo, Brazil on 29 September. One had this reaction: "It was a very, very nice the ceremony in Sun Tech Days!! Really great! I will put my checks on the wall... ;-)" [Winners received poster-sized replicas of their checks.]

Contest

For the contest portion of the OpenSolaris Community Innovation Awards Program, we received entries that are complete distributions, tools that will be useful to many other community members, documentation, and even an art entry. See Contest Entries. You can download and try these entries yourself. Some of them already are OpenSolaris projects, and others might become projects and continue development on OpenSolaris.org.

Student Grants

For the student grants portion of the awards program, we received some fine proposals including DVD authoring software and an image storage and retrieval application. See Grant Proposals.

Community Members: If you are particularly interested in any of these projects, please post a note to the awards-program discussion forum. We need community members to get involved with these students, including to review monthly progress reports.

Getting Started with OpenSolaris

The best way to get started with OpenSolaris is to download the OpenSolaris Live CD and start playing with it. Learn even more by browsing the source code. Then feel free to join one of the many OpenSolaris communities and projects. From there, the possibilities are limited only by your desire, whether you wish to write documentation, code, bug fixes, start blogging, start a project, join or start a user group, and much more.

Learning Together: Blogs

Blogs are personal and as unique as their authors. Learning from blogs and community authored non-commercial articles can provide fresh perspective from people just like yourself. On the OpenSolaris Metablog page we encourage you to add direct links to blog entries that you find useful or wrote to help others. With any luck we can amass an orderly collection of useful pointers to blogs and other community documentation. pid provider

Working Together: Communities & Projects

OpenSolaris is made up of communities (areas of interest) and projects (collaborative efforts). To facilitate improved communication and collaboration each community and/or project may create its own SketchPad area, which can be used as a jumppad for any needs that community has. SketchPads are excellent places to view and edit TODO lists and share information on the Wiki that doesn't otherwise fit somewhere else.

Leadership: Governance & The CAB

Learn more about the leadership of the OpenSolaris project, including the Community Advisory Board (CAB) and important documents, such as the OpenSolaris Charter and OpenSolaris Governance Draft 03. Working Glossary containing definitions of constitutional and development process terms. A list of the Constitutional Principles to be incorporated is being maintained. Please also see the OpenSolaris Governing Board SketchPad and the Governance category.
