Dear friends, You are invited to a blog party on Wednesday, June 14th to celebrate the birthday of OpenSolaris!
I would like to initiate a grass-roots effort to blog about the first birthday of the OpenSolaris project, and I need your help to make it a success. As you may know, the first birthday of the project is coming up on June 14th, less than two weeks away. So let's throw the baby a blog party! My plan is to collect additional information about this event at http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/marketing/blogparty_06/ So I invite you to prepare (but not post yet) a blog entry for the blog party on June 14. Write about whatever you like. If you want some suggestions about what to write about, here they are. I have spent some time thinking about themes (for the launch a year ago, our theme was roughly to "focus on the code"). To me, June 14th will feel a bit like New Year's Day: a chance to look back at the past year, to look forward to the new one, and to make some personal resolutions. So to me it makes sense to focus on these core ideas: - Look back: What did I do in the past year? What did the community do? What accomplishments and events mattered most to me? - What interactions did I have this year? Think about conversations which happened both in person at conferences, SUG meetings and on lists, the code, blogs, wikis, #opensolaris, et cetera. What surprising interactions did I have? - What's possible? What does the future look like? And how am I going to be part of it? Do I have a new year's resolution? If we get a bunch of good resolutions, we could even collect and discuss them, and maybe some good projects will grow from the discussion. And of course, I'd ask you to focus on the positive. I plan to follow up in a couple of days with some technical details: when to post, how to tag, et cetera. For now, the tentative plan is to go live with blog entries at 9:00am PST (14:00 UTC). If you need help setting up a blog, let me know, and I can provide you with some resources: you'll want to get that down this week, instead of at the last minute. If your blog does NOT appear on http://www.opensolaris.org/os/blogs, and you would like it to, please send mail with your RSS feed to add-my-blog AT sun DOT com, and we'll add you. This is the way we'll make sure your blog entry is aggregated and archived with everyone else's.
