Repository
BERLIN (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) May 29, 2008 --
In his keynote at the annual LinuxTag 2008 developer conference, Ian
Murdock, vice president for Developer and Community Marketing at Sun
Microsystems, Inc. (NASDAQ:JAVA), will discuss the increasing role
communities play in the software industry, how technologies and the
companies and communities that create them are increasingly
interconnected, and how the power of community can and should play a
role in next generation platforms.
During his keynote, Murdock will introduce the OpenSolaris(TM) operating
system (OS) to the EMEA open source community. Created through community
collaboration, OpenSolaris will allow users to fully customize their
open source OS deployment, quickly and easily. OpenSolaris will deliver
a leading-edge, easy-to-use and familiar development and deployment
environment virtually unrivaled by any OS, while providing world-class
support and access to award-winning technologies like Solaris(TM)
Dynamic Tracing (DTrace) and Solaris ZFS. Get the new OpenSolaris OS at http://www.opensolaris.com.
Murdock will also introduce the Open High Availability (HA) Cluster, the
source code base for Sun's Solaris Cluster product and the availability
of more than one hundred extensions within the OpenOffice.org(TM)
Extension Repository. Worldwide users of the popular office productivity
suite have driven hundreds of thousands of downloads for the most
popular extensions. OpenOffice.org Repository Extensions are components
that can be installed on top of an existing OpenOffice.org installation
and add additional features, templates, dictionaries and more, a concept
similar to the add-on capabilities of Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird.
Download extensions for free at http://www.OpenOffice.org.
With Open HA Cluster, developers and system administrators can now
access and build complete high availability cluster solutions and better
develop cluster frameworks in order to address a wide range of business
continuity and disaster recovery issues. Open HA Cluster is the first
robust and comprehensive set of cluster source code to be contributed to
the global open source community.
Open HA Cluster binary distributions will be available on SPARC(R) and
32 or 64-bit x86 hardware. Download Open HA Cluster for free at www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ohac.
