One of our campus ambassadors, Kumar Abishek did another great celebration for OpenSolaris. I blogged earlier about Kumar coming up with the idea of celebrating with an OpenSolaris Birthday Party. He did indeed- it's awesome. Kumar feels very passionate about OpenSolaris and we are excited to see him making all these activities come to life. Enjoy the video!!
I met up with Jesse Silver at the OpenSolaris Summit on the last day to go over how the Summit went from his perspective regarding if the goals/objectives were met and how he felt the event went as whole. See Jesse's video - Great Job Jesse!

I interviewed Simon Phipps...what an amazing guy, not only is he brilliant but he is funny,warm and an awesome photographer! I spoke with him today for a couple of hours..he not only interviewed with me but taught me a lesson in imovie and quicktime. The interview I did is very organic and raw..you will here me giggling at the end. I tried to edit it out but my skills are lacking in that area. I tried the imovie Simon, but I don't know what happened there was no sound so I went with what I had. It's still awesome content. Check out what Simon discusses on Opensource strategy minus my laughing at the end. Enjoy! The launch may be over but it's only the beginning..There is much more to come! Keep checking in
What a day!! It has been very busy here at CommunityOne. There was a great toy that people have been lining up for. Who would think people would want to feel like a hamster in the ball...but hey whatever floats your boat. Check out the Human Zorb. Very funny to watch.
Happy Cinco De Mayo!!! It is officially here! I am getting excited for the day and can't wait to capture it!!
At the OpenSolaris Developer Summit this weekend ..... it was on!! There was a lot of collaboration! The Sun and Non-Sun community came together and had a great time. They hung out, watched sessions gave feedback and educated one another on OpenSolaris and had some tasty beverages as well on Saturday night. I missed that night but heard it was fun. It was a very informative event for me as a newbie to the community and a great opportunity to see the community as a whole! Rather than just over the blogsphere. The venue was in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains. Everyone really enjoyed the outdoors of the event. Jesse Silver put together an awesome summit and planned all the technical sessions with great timing. This was said to me by several members of the community!!You Rock Jesse..Or should I say ARRIBA...with a shot of tequila ;) It is after all Cinco de Mayo or another blogger said, "Cinco de OpenSolaris!". Hope to see you all at CommunityOne today and at the after party too!!! Below is a video of a couple community members.
