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)!
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, 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 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.)
Jeff Bonwick and Jim play an intense game of pool.
The OpenSolaris Developers’ Summit
I’m attending the OpenSolaris Developers’ Summit, held in Santa Cruz, CA, May 3-4, 2008. I’ve been working with and participating in various online communities for a long time, but I’m new to this one, and have a lot to learn about the people, technologies, history, present realities, and possible futures. This weekend is an excellent opportunity to start filling in some of those gaps.

After a busy weekend at the OpenSolaris Developers’ Summit in Santa Cruz, Lynn, Jeff, and I drove up California’s gorgeous Highway 1 to San Francisco to attend CommunityOne.
The keynote session was kicked off by Ian Murdock, who talked about open source, with help from Jonathan and illustrations from Hugh McLeod.

This was all by way of introducing opensolaris 2008.05.
Rich Green, Jim Hughes, and Jeff Bonwick went all Wile E. Coyote on some disk drives to prove the resilience of the ZFS file system (note the name on the anvil).
I spent most of the afternoon filming sessions (footage which will be publicly available as soon as I have time to edit it) and then… it was time to party!
