A BOSUG meet
I attended a BOSUG (Bangalore OpenSolaris Users Group) meet while in Bangalore. Deirdre Straughan gave an informal talk about video blogging and there is a blog already posted about this by another BOSUG attendee. Suffice to say that video blogging sounds really cool and worth investing some of our time and resources on it.

Developer tools packages on OpenSolaris repository
There are various developer packages available for download on the OpenSolaris repository - http://pkg.opensolaris.org.
Among them are Sun Studio, Webstack and NetBeans packages.
1. sunstudioexpress - This package comprises of Sun Studio Express 5/08 that is available only to OpenSolaris 2008.05 users. This is the most current release of Sun Studio, i.e. it is newer than the Sun Studio 12 release, but has limited support. See the README for information specific to this release.
2. sunstudio - This package consists of Sun Studio 12 software.
3. ss-dev - This package has a number of sub-packages within it, the sunstudioexpress package being one of them.Other sub-packages include the development tools for JDK 6.0, automake, libtool etc. For a complete list, see this table.
There have been various discussions regarding downloading and installing Sun Studio on Nevada build 90. See this thread for details.
4.amp-dev - This package consists of all the web stack packages, Apache, MySql, Perl/PHP/Python. See this table for a list of the individual components and their versions.
5. netbeans - Superset of all the NetBeans packages. The individual components are listed here.
Note that the "super-set" package clusters (ss-dev,amp-dev and netbeans) can take some time to download depending on your bandwidth, all the individual components can also be downloaded separately.
