[advocacy-discuss] [Fwd: [news-discuss] recent OpenSolaris media/blog coverage]

Wed Jun 4 00:00:43 PDT 2008

The news-discuss alias was set up for forwarding OpenSolaris news stories
a while ago, but doesn't seem to be used much lately - here's a long list
of some recent stories people might have seen already or not - if you've
seen more, send 'em to news-discuss to share.   (OpenSolaris news, not
Sun news or news about other Sun projects/products.   I've included some
about Solaris since they're about technologies also in OpenSolaris, though.)

Ton of coverage lately (and not all of it about the 2008.05 launch)
but haven't seen any posts here for months.

OSNews just posted a new 2008.05 review tonight:

Some of the past month's worth of news (I was lazy and copied from the
reports collected by Sun's internal PR people, but these are all
public URL's, so it's not revealing any secrets):
