Bloomington OpenSolaris User Group (BTN-OSUG)
Along with Phillip Steinbachs from The Center for Genomics and Bioinformatics, I am... 'encouraging' the formation of an OpenSolaris user group to serve the Bloomington and central Indiana area. [Indy probably needs a group all its own, eventually...]
We put a proposal in last week to the umbrella OpenSolaris organization; accepted and pushed through the process with flying colors. It was unbelievably *easy*. Now the hard stuff will start to come up.
A listserv and some content for our space on the opensolaris.org site are really the next things on the agenda. I think Phillip is taking charge of putting some content there, probably sometime this week.
Why OpenSolaris? Well... there are some things about OpenSolaris that meet different ecosystem needs than the Debian bits that I otherwise prefer to use. :-)
I am looking very much forward to Sun's Project Indiana, in hopes that the two sub-platforms (OpenSolaris and Debian) I use most for research computing will become a lot more similar than they currently are.
