So, last week was the first time I attended the SVOSUG meeting and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by the number of people who attended who were not Sun employees. It was great to meet folks in the open source community who are so involved with OpenSolaris.

The CrossBow presentation was pretty well received. There was good interaction between Sunay and the audience including folks on the phone. Overall - positive feedback... We want to hear from *you* as well. Check out the "Open Issues" section of the presentation to help direct the project in terms of APIs, statistics, configuration files, etc.

Also, at the meeting, we announced that early access bits are now available on opensolaris.org. So, check that out on the CrossBow OpenSolaris project page - if you haven't already.

Here are a few photos taken during the evening:

and few more here.
