I'd like to help out where possible. There are definitely use cases that the sysadmin community could help out with. There has been a lot of discussion lately about installation, configuration, and management of opensolaris. In the LDoms community, we could also get involved.

There were several people interested in being part of a project like this. All input welcome. Specifically, I'm looking for five OpenSolaris users that want to help lead and contribute to this project. I won't be leading it, but will help out as I can. Cheers, Jim === o Project: OpenSolaris Use Case Project o Short Description: The OpenSolaris Use Case Project collects, develops and validates OpenSolaris operating system and application Use Cases and provides real world feedback to development, documentation, testing and other OpenSolaris groups to help ensure users get what they need from OpenSolaris distributions and applications. o Project Description: The primary focus of the OpenSolaris Use Case Project is to evaluate and organize real world OpenSolaris user experiences into Use Cases, case studies and best practices for the benefit of other OpenSolaris users, and to provide feedback to OpenSolaris developers, technical writers, testers and others so they may produce better quality products and education materials that more effectively meet user requirements. This project is run by users for users. Project roles and activities are diverse and include users bringing specific issues into the discussion, end users and consultants bringing expertise and focus to areas they are most interested in, Use Case organization and development experts, and project leaders who organize the overall project and review processes. Development, documentation, test teams and others can provide this project materials they want user feedback on prior to release to help ensure the user is getting what they need to be successful. Example areas of interest can include: * Core OpenSolaris Technologies zfs, smf, security, and DTrace and common OpenSolaris commands and utilities * OpenSolaris Installation and Packaging pkg, beadm commands, pkgmgr GUI, Automated Installer and Distro Constructor * OpenSolaris Desktop OpenSolaris desktop, layout and appearance and standard desktop applications * Virtualization zones, crossbow, ldoms, xVM, VirtualBox, etc... * OpenSolaris Distributions distribution centric use cases for BeleniX, MilaX, Nexenta, SchilliX etc... * OpenSolaris Applications OpenOffice, contrib repo applications, Oracle, etc... * Development Tools SunStudio, netbeans, hg, svn, etc... * Hardware Configurations Various hardware types and storage configurations, etc... * Combination Solutions Unique End User solutions using multiple technologies * Use Case Development This area focuses on Use Case development itself, including how Use Cases are written, Use Case tools and the review process. Both formal and informal Use Case methods will be used. o Sponsoring Communities: (need community facilitators to confirm they are interested in sponsoring this project) Documentation Community Installation and Packaging Community Desktop Community OS/Net (ON) Community Software Porters Community Distribution Community Testing Community o Project Members: Need 5 or more initial members, they will become Core Contributors. o Facilitator: Need 1 facilitator. o Project Needs: Standard project website and SCM setup at: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/usecase/ usecase-disc...@opensolaris.org email alias. _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
