Hi All, The NexentaCore platform 2.0 (NCP2) has has grown leaps and bound since the last round of hackathon in October. Our repository has size increased by over 200%, thanks to the Autobuilder. So the repository now has over 13000 binary packages (and growing) from the Ubuntu 8.04 repository.
We're in beta stage and are working on the final changes before NCP2 is announced. There are many tasks left to be done; we invite you to join in and help us build the next release of one of the more popular Opensolaris distribution. Tasks ------- *Package porting: Most of the packages in the repository are now automatically built. There are a few crucial packages that need to be built manually, and allow the builder to pick up on the rest. *Documentaiton: Not everyone knows how easy some tasks are on Nexenta. Help us write documentation, so new users find migrating much easier. *Distributions: NCP has now evolved to a tested core platform. Use the existing packages and window managers in the repository to build your own distribution using our distribution builder; tune Nexenta for a particular appliance and help us enhance our installer. Significant contributions will be featured on our homepage. And its not just fame that comes your way.. we also have few small bounties to give away. That hackathon starts on the 23rd of this month. Join us on #nexenta to get started.
