What about organising an article or story on slashdot.org for every SX
release or two or three?

Slowly but surely, it is happening.
What exactly would you like to see about each of the SX releases? A
'What's new' update? Let everyone know..
Cuddletech (www.cuddletech.com/blog) is one of the most updated
weblogs (outside of Sun) about OpenSolaris. Another is Unix Admin
Corner (http://uadmin.blogspot.com/).
Here are some more from Grisanzios page,
http://ptribble.blogspot.com/
http://mountall.blogspot.com/
http://schily.blogspot.com/
and
http://nfsworld.blogspot.com/ (while not exactly about Solaris,
Eisler mentions it quite a bit)
<shameless self-promotion>
Also, my own site, http://www.unixville.com/ . Hopefully when my
tryout T2000 arrives, I'll be updating the site with some Solaris
+ZFS+Sun Studio+Glassfish information.

Other than that, head over to something like blogspot.com and just
start your own weblog. Updating information once or twice a week
doesn't take too much time.

I've been attempting to keep up with the SX releases on OSNews
since I visit the site every few days or so, but I thought it might
be wise to point out to people that it's probably a good idea to
start attempting to make OSOL/Solaris more visible around the net.
Especially with all the nifty stuff going on, and the rapid pace of
improvement, it would really impress a lot of people. In fact, for
the majority of people who would be "trying out" Solaris for the
first time, I can't think of a better release than SX. It's
generally quite stable, and in fact tends to work better than Sol10
for desktop users (newer bits, more support, etc). It also gives
people a chance to see all the wonderful features going into the
next Solaris version.
We've got to keep plugging away and getting Solaris/OSOL visibility
for it to succeed. It can't just be @sun.com guys/gals posting in
blogs, it needs to be in public places via community members.
Otherwise it'll be viewed as self-promotion and largely ignored.
When community members are evangalizing OSOL/Solaris though, it has
a lot more meaning to a lot more people, and it might get people
interested who normally wouldn't.
I only have limited time in the day, and I certainly don't visit
all the news/OS related sites on the net, so I'd like to hope other
people could hop on this bandwagon and help out. More community
members would be a very good thing! I'll attempt to stay on top of
OSNews as much as possible as well. It'd be a lot more helpful if
SX releases had news posted in -discuss (or whatever appropriate
forum) instead of just mentions in passing, also. It's hard to
track releases of Sun software short of people mentioning it or
checking download pages every day. :)
Cheers,
David
