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.
