OpenSolaris User Group
On Thursday's evening, I attended the 14th OpenSolaris User Group as a lecturer. Aubery Li (李崇）, a guy from Intel gave the first presentation about PowerTop and Solaris Power Management. I gave the presentation titled Solaris Power Management and GNOME Power Manager.
About 80 people attended this activity. Most of the them are from nearby universities such as Tsinghua, Beijing University and China Academy Instititue etc. There are also some people from several IT companies.
From the desktop perspective, I gave a thorough introduction GNOME Power Manager and what we have done to port GPM from Linux to Solaris. Actually, not many people use linux in China, even least people use Solaris desktop. So there's still a long way to go if Opensolaris can be accepted by most users. Indiana is a good product which can attact more developper and users. But considering driver support and more applications, there's still a significant gap between Solaris and Linux. We have to do more.
