May be, we could do something around contributing to OpenSolaris bite-sized bugs on the OpenSolaris Project Day. ~Joe On 17-Aug-07, at 8:58 AM, S h i v wrote: > Hi All, > > Foss.in (http://foss.in/2007/info/Home) one of the well known open > source conferences is happening during 4-Dec to 8-Dec this year.
