The OpenSolaris community has so much to look forward to today that I was a bit worried about some of it getting lost.

To start off with, there is (of course) the availability of ZFS. The Solaris Express Community Release of build 27 is available for download as is the source for onnv_27, and I'm sure you all read the available blogs on the subject throughout the day.

I think most people would agree that having ZFS available is more than enough excitement for one day, but the OpenSolaris and tools teams also worked hard to add the following downloads to opensolaris.org:

• The source browser we use on opensolaris.org (OpenGrok) has been released under CDDL. Chandan put a lot of effort into OpenGrok and the project pages, and it definitely shows. I know I appreciate all of his efforts, and I'm sure the community appreciates them even more.
• Binaries with redistribution rights: sccs and make along with the packaging tools. Releasing these tools, along with libm, is will help distributions like SchilliX.

But wait... You don't just get ZFS, OpenGrok, and binaries for additional tools today. If you act now you also get the Solaris 10 University Challenge. This program is a great opportunity to contribute ideas and code to OpenSolaris and potentially make a bit of cash in the process.

All in all, it's a good day (and not in the Ice Cube way).
