[FSUG-Bangalore] Fwd: Announcing Hackathon event this Saturday (05/31/08)

[S h i v]

FYI.

If you like the combination of opensolaris kernel and a ubuntu
userland and are a open source developer, this might be of interest to
you.
NexentaOS is a registered project on launchpad.net (ubuntu's
collaboration platform).
NCP 1.0 is based on Ubuntu Dapper sources. NCP will move to 2.0 and be
based on Ubuntu Hardy. There is a hackathon planned around this
effort.

Expect the below announcement on suitable Debian & Ubuntu developer shortly.
See DPL's note about Nexenta after last year's DebConf

Dear NexentaOS Developers and Users!

Starting this Saturday, we are inviting all Debian/Nexenta and
OpenSolaris developers and users to participate in our first Hackathon
event.

Hackathon starts on this Saturday 05/31/2008 and continues during first
week of June. Development coordinated at #nexenta on freenode IRC.

We are migrating from Ubuntu Dapper to Ubuntu Hardy user land and will
be hacking on very initial version of NCP 2.0.

You don't need to install Nexenta, (ZFS-powered) build environment and
SSH access to the dedicated Zone will be automatically (see devzone
package) provided to interested developers by request on #nexenta
freenode IRC.

The work coordinated at #nexenta freenode IRC and this static web page:

ZFS-powered Nexenta Zones managed on specially prepared NexentaOS build
servers connected to the public Internet. Servers and Internet
collocation kindly provided by Stanford University, CA.

Join now and make a difference! It is going to be fun!
