This month, we're going to hold a presentation on a topic that's
probably a bit overdue for us, but better late than never:

An Introduction to OpenSolaris.

Tim's going to present:

- Why OpenSolaris was started
- How the project is organised
- A short history of the project to date

Fintan Ryan will be presenting:

- Building & installing your own OpenSolaris bits
- How you can start contributing

So, if you're interested in learning more about OpenSolaris, as well as
how to get started hacking on the code, you should definitely come
along.

We also have a have a slot for our monthly run-down of OpenSolaris
highlights since our last meeting in February, however, we don't yet
have someone to present this.

It doesn't take long to put together these highlights, and it should
only take about 5 minutes to present to the group – if you're interested
in doing this, please let us know, volunteers are always welcome!

Feel free to forward this announcement. As always, if you've ideas for
future talks, or feel like presenting something yourself, we're open to
all suggestions, just send us email.
