I certainly will if I can't make headway with it after I have content.

I know that Will Snow was the one responsible for the machines that host 
opensolaris.org, and he does handle the streaming media for sun.com, 
AFAIK, or at least used to.

I figure however we need to drive that to get content hosted, we will sort 
that out. The main thing is to get something going where we have actual 
content and to be able to create shorts that we could use for 
educational/training/learning.

I have a couple engineers in the queue once I get this rolling, and I hope 
that we can get some useful content to post. My plan is to use YouTube 
and/or Facebook as an exposure tool, but offer high resolution on 
opensolaris.org as added value. If folks would like a higher resolution 
stream, they can get it "from the source" so to speak!;-)
