"We hope we can contribute to growth of OpenSolaris in Japan and to the continued evolution of OpenSolaris around the world." -- Kotaro-san, Leader, Project Jaris

And with that, Kotaro-san announced (in English and Japanese) Project Jaris to the OpenSolaris community. Welcome, guys! It's excellent to have a new distribution based on OpenSolaris technology right here in Japan. This project will absolutely help us build a developer and user community in Japan, there's no question about that. It's also very interesting that the Jaris guys are reaching out to Windows users with this distro. If we are to build a large user community here, those are the people we have to talk to. Very smart.

I hope something good comes out for the bluetooth project also. I installed 2008.11 and everything worked fine, hassle free (Not like in Windows). I also downloaded activetcl and with some tloona tweaking I was up and running with compiz in 3hours. Haven't tested printer yet (possibly will not work, samsung's proprietary raster2samsungspl) but otherwise I felt a really strong opponent to apll-indows duo. Even my brother wanted it (he will install it on a test machine) Keep on.
