Max Bruning

Max is an experienced Unix teacher and consultant. He has been doing 
Unix trainings, mostly for internal Sun engineers, as well as kernel 
work for over 25 years. Currently he teaches and consults on Solaris 
internals, device drivers, kernel (as well as application) crash 
analysis and debugging, networking internals, and specialized topics.

Mark J. Nelson

Mark is the Tech Lead for the Operating System and Network Consolidation 
for Nevada, which will be the next release of Solaris. Along with the 
rest of the Consolidation Team (C-Team) and the Change Review Team 
(CRT), he is tasked with maintaining the health of the consolidation. He 
spend most of his time working with project teams that are getting ready 
to integrate their changes. With the help of the C-Team, he help them 
review their changes, their test plans, their test results, their 
process completion, and their general crossing of "t's" and dotting of 
"i's." Like other members of the CRT, he also do the same (without the 
C-Team) for smaller changes and projects that aren't big enough to 
warrant a full review.

Before he got into the Tech Lead business, he worked on the Solaris 
Volume Manager. Prior to joining Sun five years ago, he worked for Ball 
Aerospace, where he wrote part of the control software for two of the 
scientific instruments on board the Spitzer Space Telescope.

"OpenSolaris Development Process"

The Solaris kernel Development community has a well-defined process for 
the Solaris ON (Operating System and Network) Consolidation. For 
OpenSolaris, the ON development process will also open to the 
OpenSolaris community, which is new to the community developers outsides 
Sun. How to file a bug, How to start a project, how to find a sponsor, 
how to find a code reviewer, how to integrate a fix to OpenSolaris, all 
this questions will be confronted by the Sun external developers in
OpenSolaris community. In this presentation, you will have some ideas 
and get the answers.
