Building the OpenSolaris Developers’ Community

A team-building exercise at the Open Solaris Developers’ Summit, 2008. Part of the Go Games package is that you get access to all the photos and video shot during the game. So I had a little fun with it…

Here’s the full gallery of photos from the game:

CommunityOne: OpenSolaris Launch Party

After the general party at Moscone Center (footage to come), there was a somewhat smaller party at a nearby bar/restaurant.

We had quite a bit to celebrate – and quite a bit to celebrate it with (above)!

Jay Edwards

A number of cool non-Sun people were present, including ^ Jay Edwards (one of the handful of engineers who runs one of my favorite online services, Twitter). I had to have a photo taken with him, to impress all my Italian twithead friends.

Jesse Silver & Silona Bonewald

^ Jesse Silver, who had done such a fantastic job organizing the Developers’ Summit, and Silona Bonewald, whom I’ll be seeing more of at next week’s Grid & Cluster conference. Silona is wearing our trendy green and blue opensolaris wristbands.

Jim Hughes

^ Jim Huges unites opensolaris (temporary tattoo logo on his forehead) with MySQL’s dolphin mascot. Hey, I didn’t get one of those! (Nor did I get one of the very cool “Build your community” t-shirts from CommunityOne, wah! But I do have two different opensolaris t-shirts.)
