Roland, Yep, great minds think a like or something like that... We'll actually have 7 pods for OpenSolaris at CommunityOne and JavaOne, along with a separate OpenSolaris install lounge with experts to help answer additional questions and walk folks through the install process (we'll also have folks from Toshiba there showing the laptops and Rock Band 2 on Playstation 3 to help relax folks), 3 tracks of sessions, an OpenSolaris party to cap off CommunityOne, and an OpenSolaris deep dive the next day. The pods will focus on 2009.06, Porting SW to OpenSolaris, Testing with OpenSolaris, Open Networking, Open Storage, Open HA Cluster, and the OpenSolaris Web Stack. Oh, and the opening Keynote for C1 will of course include the launch of 2009.06 I'm sure... :)
Lots going on there, Lynn Rohrer gave an update during the Townhall this morning so I'm sure she can provide a bit more details.
