Sucking info through a fire hose I have been getting to know some of the Solaris kernel engineers a bit while I am getting hit with a fire hose of information. For those of you who think Sun is not committed to open sourcing Solaris, don't doubt our intent. The *last* thing Sun wants is to not do this right. After we bombarded them with questions, the team involved with open sourcing Solaris made things positively clear to me. No, I don't know the license :)
I also got a chance to get a deeper understanding of some Solaris features, particularly SMF, DTrace and Zones. Zones I have gotten proficient at a while ago, but I did pick up tidbits of good info. I may ignore my own advice and add some SMF functionality to the demo before I clean up the code. I already have the UI thought out. TBD.
Not much time for blogging. Back to class ...

James, thanks for the link. I find it interesting that "overheard" is of as much interest as the formal delivery of messages by Sun execs.
By the way, last night I listened to the analyst Q&A before before reading any other launch material from the web site. I am always interested in analyst questions and *how* they are asked. I sure would like to "overhear" analyst thoughts on Sun responses during Q&A :)
Thanks again for the link.
