One of the objectives of the ACM is to get Bangalore techies together based on
their interests. We call them SIGs (Special Interest Groups). OpenSolaris
would come under the SIGOPS or SIG for Operating Systems. This will help in
cross-pollination of projects and hopefully more people contributing to the
community.

Let me know if there are any such opportunities. ACM would be interested
in facilitating/co-hosting some BOSUG activities.
