The famous "Hello, world!" message is usually the first message to be printed at a console when someone learns a new programming language. Since this is the first entry of a blog, which aims to report an Open Source related activities of software engineers in OP/N1 Revenue Product Engineering department I could not resist to use it as a title for this post.
Solaris Revenue Product Engineering is a department within the Solaris organization at Sun responsible for sustaining Solaris and related products (for example, PostgreSQL, SunCluster, or N1 Service Provisioning System). Many of the products we are dealing with are open sourced, starting with Solaris sources released in the OpenSolaris project, continuing with product actively co-developed by Sun (for example, JavaDB) and finishing with a number of freeware products delivered with Solaris.
Our engineers are also involved in many Open Source activities and projects, for example, BeleniX, a free x86 Crash Dump Analysis book, Bangalore OpenSolaris Users Group, Czech OpenSolaris Users Group and many others.
