(Hi! I'm passing on this announcement from Ienup who's not available at the moment. Please read on the good news. :-) Happy holidays!)

Hello,

I'm delighted to have an honor to announce that we, Sun G11N, have open sourced Solaris G11N source code at OpenSolaris.org and the source code can be found from the following:

    http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/int_localization/sources/

The README (Release Note) file with detail information on how to build is available also at the following:

    http://dlc.sun.com/osol/g11n/downloads/current/README.opensolaris.g11n

Our main focus on the initial source release was on the OS locales and system libraries including numerous iconv code conversions. The message translation sources which have been provided in dedicated tarballs in the past are now part of the new tarball. We are not yet done; we have still many components that we are moving from closed to open side as we speak, and we will also open up the SVN source tree soon as the next step.

Even before this milestone, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada locales were already contributed. With these codes open now, we hope to see more and more activities around locales and languages in OpenSolaris. Let's make OpenSolaris approachable from anywhere in the world! :-)


If you have any comment, question, suggestion, and so on, i18n-discuss at opensolaris.org would be the best place to start. We also have many language group mailing lists as follows:

I would like to use this chance to acknowledge the core team members who made this possible and who are working diligently right now to bring the SVN source tree to out in the open. Without their contributions and dedication, I don't think we would have been able to announce this humble but historic start. Here are the names of the core members in alphabetical order:

    Elizabeth McArthur
    Kieran Colfer
    Osamu Sayama
    Simford Dong
    Takeshi Asano
    Valerie Alabanza
