As part of Tech Days this year there will be an OpenSolaris Day (half-day really) specifically designed for the community. We'd love to have community speakers at these events. And it would be great to have OpenSolaris User Group meetings around the same time, so that some of the Tech Days speakers can participate in the user group meetings. Here is the tentative agenda for each of the OpenSolaris Days, but if someone in the community has a great talk you would like to give, we are happy to swap out one of these sessions for your topic...or you can give one of these talks too.

If you would like to participate in one of these events, please respond to me directly, and I will get you connected with the right folks and get you on the agenda.

I'm all for graphics, believe me, but since the site has been without a front page graphic for about a week now, it's growing on me. I like it. It's nice and clean, actually. In general, the site is light on graphics, so have we considered a front page design with no major front page graphic at all (aside from the wordmark and the little nav icons, of course)? Also, do we have any data about how a front page graphic affects page views and community involvement? In other words, why change it? I understand the change with the anniversary, of course, but why not go back to Chandan's original graphic? > Anyone who > would like to contribute artwork can by sending it in email to website > DASH discuss AT opensolaris.org.

There were a lot of good blogs but only one press article (that I've found so far). I collected some links here: http://blogs.sun.com/jimgris?entry=dtrace_rides_the_leopard I don't understand the Kyoto reference, though. Bigger than San Francisco? I seriously doubt it. But if there is a DTrace on Mac community there, I'll take a look. :) I think Bryan summarized it well when he said that this brings us into contact with 19 million Mac users. That's a pretty big user community. And the Mac is used through the open source community, too, so our stuff is clearly getting out there. Also, it's good for us here in Japan. I understand that Apple has a larger share of the market here than they do in the U.S. This will come in handy when we engage university professors and students (which we are planning right now).

Just some notes, Frank Hofmann is in Prague today and talking with the guys in Prague about a possible motto for the Tech Days. He promised to call me after he id check up the basic ideas. If you have any ideas for Prague to add, please name them. Frank will probably stay in Prague untill tomorrow.

But if Google's geographic breakdown isn't so great, what about their other data? Humm ... Unless ... unless there actually *is* a community thriving among the shrines and temples there. :) Hey, you never know. One thing about all these web stats that is cool is how small groups in far away places can now have serious visibility without needing to go through the funnels and filters of mass media. Maybe the engineering students at Kyoto University jumped all over this? Maybe there are interesting OpenSolaris projects occurring in this and other regions that we are not aware of? I mean, who knew about Apple's port? Fascinating stuff. This may be interesting, too: http://ocw.kyoto-u.ac.jp/en/index.htm Anyway, I'll go and check. And you'll love the pics, too. :) Jim Patrick Finch wrote On 08/09/06 18:35,: > Quick note on Kyoto: the geographic breakdown on Google Trends seems > totally flaky to me.

While a lot of needless annoyances could indeed be simplified, do you really think you would do yourself a service even if it _were_ (sort of) possible to be that...[searching for a nice word] uninvolved? That is, there will always be choices that one could make better if one were involved and informed than if one just took the defaults (however reasonable they might attempt to be for the majority of cases). And there will probably always be possibilities (add-on hardware or additional functionality of some sort) that are supported, but not to the level of being painless. Even if out-of-the-box were to become usable for most cases, if you want to go past that, you'll have to be prepared to learn _something_ about the tools you use.

The guys at the install community are also looking into packaging, and what it means to have a system that's "always up to date", so there's another area you might be interested in contributing to As I say, none of the things you mention are beyond the realms of possibility, it just takes time, dedication and the hard work of a lot of talented people. > i really would like your feed back and hope that you are not too > arrogant to take the time to consider what i have said or at least > pass it onto someone in sun who would.

If their junior high school science classes didn't mention Bernoulli's Principle (and how that relates to aircraft), then they should contact their old school district and complain! Whether they remember is another story, but most folks should probably know that much, regardless of whether or not there's any day-to-day application of that knowledge in their lives or not. > do you think that they care about aerodynamics, > turbulent control, in flight corrections and > navigations subsystems? probably NOT, they care about > a few things, one, that the aircraft will not crash > and two, that they will get to their intended > destination. Now you're getting into programming, or kernel code, or something like that with your analogy. I certainly don't see that the average person needs to know that sort of thing, _unless_ they have requirements for which a solution hasn't already been created, pre-installed, etc. > sorry dear, there are levels of > ignorance/?uninvolved? of computing technology that i > am willing to accept. i can think of better things to > do with my time. I'm not claiming average users need to be experts (although I'd just as soon not deal with those that aren't); far from it. I _am_ saying that those who are unwilling to learn _anything_ beyond the bare minimum keystrokes needed for whatever they do probably will actually be working harder than they need to. Take a closer analogy: a feature-rich word processor (OpenOffice, if you like). Imagine creating a complex document while using as few features as possible; now imagine the same document, created using all features pertinent to structuring the content effectively and maintainably. Less work in the long run to learn about features than to ignore them, that's my point. Now, if there are relatively exotic features that have no bearing on what you do, there's no need to learn about them. But as one learns a feature here or there and gradually comes to work more effectively, doesn't there come a time when one decides to at least _review_ the full available functionality? Even if one is just skimming and ignores all that one can't see a use for, one would benefit from such a review by discovering all sorts of features one _could_ use to good effect. Just having a general idea what was possible, even if one didn't go into detail, would be much better than facing new situations with only the knowledge one already had. Perhaps if all one does is data entry (fill in forms, whatever), one may never need to learn about features not applicable to that objective. And if one wants to be a data entry clerk forever, that's a valid choice, I suppose. But very self-limiting. Curiosity is a survival trait, or it wouldn't persist; it's for aquiring new skills _before_ you absolutely need them. What do you expect, that those features use Artificial Intelligence to just do what you want rather than what you say? Or maybe one of those cutesy interactive help things (I think on MS Office for awhile there was that annoying "Clippy" animated paper clip, until it got on people's nerves a bit too much) that _try_ (not very well, since they can't _really_ divine your intent) to offer pertinent suggestions? That's all well and good for a specific application, but being that friendly for a general purpose system overall isn't really friendly at all, IMO. Again, I have no problem with making things easy enough that the small-scale user that doesn't want to bother (at least right away) with a lot of details can get themselves up, running, and working. But I have a big problem with either removing functionality, making it less controllable (I want lots of tweaks, although of course I'd prefer if the defaults were such that I seldom needed to use them), or making it difficult to apply on a large scale (the latter means that I want scriptable command line interfaces for everything, as well as sufficient documentation to write my on programs in C or even assembler if I'm that hard-case). Maybe you really want to focus on your primary purpose; that's fine. But I've seen too many people that when they say something has too much of a learning curve, really mean they want it automated to the point that they can stay home and collect their paycheck for doing nothing at all. So don't expect me to say anything other than "you get what you pay for" to the notion of friendliness carried to the point of no-brainer.

I gess that besides the fact that open is a syscall referenced in secion 2 of manpages, it also means that second year for opensolaris is open. > Bill > rushmores.net just my .2 cents, Martin From Tim.Foster at Sun.COM Thu Aug 31 07:09:29 2006 From: Tim.Foster at Sun.COM (Tim Foster) Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 15:09:29 +0100 Subject: [osol-discuss] Re: [osol-mktg] New Home Page Graphic In-Reply-To: References: <44F64B91.4030706@sun.com> <44F6B3DD.40404@sun.com> Message-ID: <1157033369.757.16.camel@localhost> On Thu, 2006-08-31 at 08:52 -0400, Bill Rushmore wrote: > On Thu, 31 Aug 2006, Martin Man wrote: > > could be just me being too busy, but was there any open decision making > > process that led to this logo being chosen?

The (2) is referencing the man page convention of putting the section of the man page after the function you're talking about. I figured you guys would get it (since the code in the background is some of the implementation of the open syscall : http://cvs.opensolaris.org/source/xref/on/usr/src/uts/common/syscall/open.c#59 ) I used the "open" syscall since it's part of our name, and a pretty important system call in UNIX generally. Maybe it's all a bit geeky, but I liked it. I guess the graphic will only be there for a while - so if you feel like putting together a better graphic (which admittedly, wouldn't be hard!) I'm sure the website-discuss guys are still taking submissions. cheers, tim From bill at rushmores.net Thu Aug 31 06:32:25 2006 From: bill at rushmores.net (Bill Rushmore) Date: Thu, 31 Aug 2006 09:32:25 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [osol-discuss] Re: [osol-mktg] New Home Page Graphic In-Reply-To: <1157033369.757.16.camel@localhost> References: <44F64B91.4030706@sun.com> <44F6B3DD.40404@sun.com> <1157033369.757.16.camel@localhost> Message-ID: On Thu, 31 Aug 2006, Tim Foster wrote: > On Thu, 2006-08-31 at 08:52 -0400, Bill Rushmore wrote: >> On Thu, 31 Aug 2006, Martin Man wrote: >>> could be just me being too busy, but was there any open decision making >>> process that led to this logo being chosen? > > No idea (I wasn't involved, in case you were wondering ;-) > >> Also, what does it all mean?

How "UNIX" can you get, when some one asks about the graphic and you send them to a man page! :-) Bill rushmores.net From James.C.McPherson at gmail.com Thu Aug 31 05:59:50 2006 From: James.C.McPherson at gmail.com (James C.

The open system call is documented in section 2 of the manual. $ man -s 2 open System Calls open(2) NAME open, openat - open a file SYNOPSIS #include #include #include int open(const char *path, int oflag, /* mode_t mode */); int openat(int fildes, const char *path, int oflag, /* mode_t mode */); cheers, James C.

Yah, I like it, too. I'm putting it in my slides. And thanks for the explanation (though people here have been telling me what it me what it means for a week now. :) Being the resident non-engineer and all. So, it works. It focuses on the code, which talks directly to developers, and I think it works internationally, too.
