Friday June 24, 2005 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.
