The OSO team would like to announce the availability of a preview version of the forthcoming replacement for the current OpenSolaris.org portal.
The new portal can be cound at http://hub.opensolaris.org/ and the associated OSO user management system can be found at https://auth.opensolaris.org/ A test migration of the data in the current system into the Auth system has been performed. If you log in to https://auth.opensolaris.org/login.action with your current OSO username and password you will be taken to an account edit page where you can confirm your account details and view your account data, including your SSH keys and the collectives (Communities, Projects & User Groups) that you are a member of. The collective information from the current system has been mapped to the proposed new constitution, including the new OSO membership roles. (http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/OGB_2008/010_OpenSolaris_Constitution_2009). If you log in to the Auth system you will also be logged in to the existing site. Please note that although you can edit the data in the Auth system, the live system will not be updated with the changes, and any changes you make in the Auth system will be lost when when the next test migration is performed. The new portal at http://hub.opensolaris.org/ has been integrated with the Auth system, so it obtains information about users and collectives from the Auth system. There is no content in the portal, but the spaces and pages are structured in line with the collective data that has been migrated from the live system. For example, if you currently have edit rights on pages on the live site, you will have the same rights on the appropriate space in the new site. Please note that this preview release is a work-in-progress and is intended to be a test of the basic infrastructure - data migration, application integration and rights management. The look and feel of the sites is not as it will be in production, so we won't be addressing anything other than data validity, rights management and functionality issues at this stage. As we move towards production we will of course switch focus towards look & feel. We are depending on the community to help us shake the new system down and identify any bugs or deficiencies, so if you have any feedback please sent it to website-discuss at opensolaris.org. Many thanks, -- Alan Burlison --
