2. Slide 2: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE “Open source is about community, not economy, not hype, not ...” 2
3. Slide 3: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE What is OpenSolaris ? OpenSoaris was founded as an Open Source project by Sun Microsystems in June of 2005, and originally created as a clearing house for releasing CDDL licensed Solaris code for others (such as Nexenta and Sine Nomine) to produce Solaris-compatible operating systems Fact: OpenSolaris is the first and only System V-based UNIX to have been released into Open Source. 3
4. Slide 4: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE History  Solaris is a proprietary UNIX system by Sun Microsystems.  Widely regarded for it's stability  Bulk of kernel open-sourced in June 2005 under the CDDL license as OpenSolaris  Opensolaris :: Linux+GNU  Code available at opensolaris.org  Extreme innovation. 4

6. Slide 6: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE What is OpenSolaris ?  Its the Solaris codebase. Its a Community. It is our project website !  Celebrated its First Birthday on June 14th 2006  24 years of UNIX development is now free and open.  An attempt to allow non-Sun developers to participate in the Solaris community  Expand the Solaris Ecosystem  All future versions of Solaris are based on this codebase. 6

11. Slide 11: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE Why Open Solaris?  It's technologies!  ZFS  Dtrace  Zones  Binary compatibility guarantee  .. and a lot more coming 11
12. Slide 12: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE Why OpenSolaris: ZFS  Moore's law  need 65th bit in 10-15 years (1PB = 50 bits)  128 bit – the last word in file systems  file size: up to 16 × 10³ PetaByte  pool size: up to 3 × 10²³ PetaByte  ZFS takes care of  endianess & encryption  compression  data corruption Web : http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/ Online Demo : http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/demos/ 12
13. Slide 13: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE Why OpenSolaris: DTrace  DTrace is a dynamic troubleshooting and analysis tool first introduced in the Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris operating systems.  DTrace is many things, in particular:  A tool  A programming language interpreter  An instrumentation framework  DTrace provides observability across the entire software stack from one tool. This allows you to examine software execution like never before.  Available on OpenSolaris, Solaris 10, Mac OSX, FreeBSD Web : http://opensolaris.org/os/community/dtrace/ Examples, Documentation and Technical Articles at the above URL 13
14. Slide 14: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE  Trace your software on a live production system  Thousands of probes  Monitor file system access  Monitor system calls  Monitor memory usage  Monitor everything  Place blame where it belongs  Ported to FreeBSD, OS X 14
15. Slide 15: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE Why OpenSolaris: Zones  Virtualize OS service that emulate an OS instance  Isolates applications from each other  Improve security by intrusion-isolation  Boot and bring down zones independent of the OS instance  Compatible with existing applications  Almost arbitrary granularity in isolating and sharing resources Web: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/ Examples, Documentation and Technical Articles at the above URL 15
16. Slide 16: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE  Built-in virtualization  Consolidate your servers  Sandboxed application environments  Dynamic resource reallocation 16
17. Slide 17: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE Who is Using Solaris 10 Today? • 10 of the top 11 Retailers • 5 of the top 5 Petro companies • 5 of the top 5 Manufacturing companies • 7 of the top 8 Financial Services companies • 3 of the top 3 Shipping companies • 5 of the top 5 IT companies • 5 of the top 5 Insurance companies • 5 of the top 5 Food/Beverage companies • 6 of the top 6 Healthcare/Pharmaceutical companies 17

19. Slide 19: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE And.. 19
20. Slide 20: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE The Distributions  Sun sponsored  Solaris 10  Solaris Express Community Edition (every fortnight)  Solairs Express Developer Edition (every 3 months)  Community  BeleniX (LiveCD x86)  Nexenta (GNU/Opensolaris)  Martux (Sparc LiveCD)  Schillix, Milax !  Project Indiana! 20
21. Slide 21: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE Project Indiana 21
22. Slide 22: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE What are the community issues ?  opensolaris.org grew up around the source, and engaging developers  Not necessarily a good showcase for OpenSolaris technology  Poor download experience  Little user community growth 22
23. Slide 23: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE What are the technology issues ?  High adoption barriers  Install, Packaging, Hardware  Media size has grown too large to reach important markets  No clear binary technology base to work from  No formal roadmap or public process for SXCE/SXDE 23
24. Slide 24: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE Project Indiana  .. is what everyone is talking about in OpenSolaris land.  Is the promising new OpenSolaris binary distribution  Lead by Ian Murdock: The 'Ian' in Debian.  What's a Linux guy doing in OpenSolaris?  Pre release in Oct 2007, first release on May 5th 2008.  Great new features you always wanted in Solaris. 24
25. Slide 25: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE Project Indiana  OpenSolaris reference binary distribution  SUN and Community jointly built  Single CD install and network package repository  100% re-distributable  LiveCD/DVD functionality  ZFS as default file-system  More intuitive update experience with ZFS rollback functionality 25
26. Slide 26: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE Major Indiana Technologies  LiveCD/DVD/USB Infrastructure derived mostly from BeleniX – Slim Install  OpenSolaris uses GRUB and is multiboot aware  OpenSolaris also uses an Initial Ramdisk  New Packaging  Distribution Constructor  Simplyselect packages from repository  Customize look and feel  and spread your own distribution!  Modern Simple Installer  Live Upgrade Mechanism 26
27. Slide 27: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE Why should I Care ?  <showoff> Be Proud of being an OpenSolaris hacker ! </showoff>  Observability Understand what your OS does.  Better than a Text Book The guy who wrote your OS text book is a hardcore Solaris fan!  Direct Access to the Experts ! Talk to the guy designed and wrote the best FS in the world ! 27
28. Slide 28: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE OpenSolaris 2008.05 ! 28
29. Slide 29: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE What is OpenSolaris 2008.05? OpenSolaris 2008.05 is the first official release in a new binary distribution based on the OpenSolaris operating system. It’s the first Opensolaris operating system that’s fully supported by Sun It is Sun’s equivalent to Red Hat’s Fedora or Novell’s OpenSUSE.. or Ubuntu's Ubuntu! 29
30. Slide 30: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE An all new beginning for the Solaris operating system! 30
31. Slide 31: USE IMPROVE EVANGELIZE \"OpenSolaris is a massive advancement for OS development and deployment. It combines the strong foundation of Solaris technologies and tools with modern desktop features and applications developed by open source communities such as GNOME, Mozilla and the Free Software Foundation,\" said Stephen Lau, OpenSolaris Governing Board member. 31
