Here are some images from the Conference for Open Source Coders,
Users, and Promoters (COSCUP) in Taiwan on Saturday. There were
about 600 people at the conference over the weekend, and I was happy
that about 250
people sat through my
talk on OpenSolaris. I had a tough act to follow going behind
Ubuntu, especially since the audience was about 95% Linux
users/developers. But I think things went pretty well even if I did
make a boat load of mistakes. It's a great
honor talking to people who are new to OpenSolaris, especially in areas
outside the main OpenSolaris community. I view it as a
massive opportunity to engage people and learn from them and connect them to other
communities -- but it`s also humbling when you
realize just how much work we have yet to do as we build the
OpenSolaris community around the world. Anyway, it was a pleasure
participating at this event. Really nice show with a clear community
feel. Hope to go back again next year.

On Friday I participated at the Taiwan
OpenSolaris User Group meeting in Taipei. It was my first trip to
Taiwan and the first time I met the members of the user group there.
Great fun all around. Special thanks to Ben Wu for inviting me to
present and to everyone for taking such good care of me and making me
feel welcome. Over the weekend we went to the COSCUP
conference for more OpenSolaris activities.

I'm looking forward to participating at the Conference for Open Source Coders, Users, and Promoters (COSCUP)
in Taiwan in mid-August. I'll be talking about OpenSolaris, of course,
and how developers and users can contribute to the project, how we are
organizing communities around the world, and how we are rebuilding opensolaris.org. It will be my first time in Taiwan and my first time hanging out with the Taiwan OpenSolaris User Group (TWOSUG) as well. Should be fun.
