The OpenSolaris Project: Getting Involved
Abstract	A presentation about how to contribute to the OpenSolaris project. There's no single entry point, trust me, so that's why we really have to talk about it. Plus, the project is still opening, so although most of the code is open some of the core infrastructure is not. Then there's all the processes. It can be daunting. But despite all that, people /are/ getting involved, and community code /is/ getting integrated. So, let's talk about how you can report bugs, offer patches, re-write encumbered binaries, draft documentation, localize website content, help work on the web application itself, run for the governing board, propose new development projects, start a user group. And more. Along the way, you'll learn why we are doing all this and some of the history and politics around OpenSolaris. And lots of lessons learned, too.
