Friday June 24, 2005 An Army of Dukes
As you can see from the photo the Java Army is ready to go into action next week in San Francisco for the 9th JavaOne and the Java Platform's 10th birthday party. Seems only yesterday I was persuading my colleague Gabriel at IBM to spend his budget to buy IBM's place at the first JavaOne. I must be getting old.
The photo, incidentally, is from the new JavaOne group on Flickr - if I find time to take any photos I'll post them there.

Biting into OpenSolaris
As I've been touring this week speaking about Sun's open source strategy and OpenSolaris, one of the things that plenty of people have been excited about is that the OpenSolaris developers have been looking for ways to help newcomers to get started with the OpenSolaris source code as easily as possible. For example, there's the very cool Source Browser that Chandan built, which provides searchability and syntax highlighting with a speed and ease of use that I have not seen in a source project before.
Probably the most interesting idea though is one Sean caught me mentioning at the inaugural London OpenSolaris User Group meeting on Monday. If you want to get involved with the OpenSolaris source, search for "oss-bite-size" in the keyword field of the bug database. All the bugs so marked are suitable for an experienced programmer who wants to get started on OpenSolaris programming - a great idea.
