OpenSolaris Introduction
Abstract	The aim of this talk is to give a rough welcome to OpenSolaris for the developer. Joining each open source community can be very different to each other, and this talk will map out the story from when the developer first appears on the list asking for help, to reporting bugs, to submitting code for bug fixes, to starting their own projects out on opensolaris.org. It will explain some of the existing developer processes in place that have been built up over many years of development, and detail some of the attempts to make them more transparent for the external developer.
Pre-requisites	None.
Speaker Profile	Glynn Foster has been working on the GNOME and JDS projects with Sun Microsystems for the past 7 years, but more recently a product manager for Project Indiana, an OpenSolaris binary distribution. Glynn has been a current GNOME Foundation Board Director and OpenSolaris Governing Board Member.
