We at SASTRA University, India have already resolved to celebrate May 5th every year as OpenSolaris Birthday. OpenSolaris release was celebrated with lots of energy at my university and you can see a clip of it on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opxcqL-nty4
You can also check out my blog http://blogs.sun.com/krabhishek/entry/and_that_s_how_gloss where I wrote a bit about the event.

I have 2 ideas. 1. How about having OpenSolaris installation day. Every UG can set up install fest in there city/country/area/university etc. On the end of the day we can count how many installation each of UG has made on that day. We could do that every year on the same day in the whole world. 2. OpenSolaris contribution day. The idea is that every UG make some contribution to OpenSolars on the same day. Some UG's can make installation day, some can make Fix a Bug Day, some can make presentations etc. We can make special place on website (or dedicated website for this event) where UG's can write what kind of event they are planning and to put pictures from it after.
