Chris-
There's no reason not to play in OpenSolaris, even if you are "no longer" a 
developer.  I spent my life as a sysadmin, sys engineer, sys architect, and 
product manager.  I've never had a job as a developer, never written code as my 
main occupation.  In fact, I've never written any production C code as part of 
my job and doubt seriously I could sit down and write a C program more 
difficult than "Hello World" from scratch without a lot of effort.  However, 
over the past 15 years or so, I've dabbled with a little code from time to time 
-- GNU EMACS beta tester, Perl FAQ maintainer and author, MUD admin, now 
OpenSolaris evangelist -- each one ended up with me contributing some bug fixes 
here and there in one of many languages.

So, don't envy anyone; dig in once in awhile!  ;-)
