Getting Started with OpenSolaris
The best way to get started with OpenSolaris is download Solaris Express: Community Edition (SX:CE) and to start playing with it. Learn even more by viewing the source itself. Then feel free to join one of OpenSolaris's many communities and projects. From there, the possibilities are limited only by your desire, whether you wish to write documentation, code, bug fixes, start blogging, start a project, join or start a user group, and much more.

The OpenSolaris Community
Learning Together: Blogs
Blogs are personal and as unique as their authors. Learning from blogs and community authored non-commercial articles can provide fresh perspective from people just like yourself. On the OpenSolaris Metablog page we encourage you to add direct links to blog entries that you find useful or wrote to help others. With any luck we can amass an orderly collection of useful pointers to blogs and other community documentation. pid provider
Working Together: Communities & Projects
OpenSolaris is made up of communities (areas of interest) and projects (collaborative efforts). To facilitate improved communication and collaboration each community and/or project may create its own SketchPad area, which can be used as a jumppad for any needs that community has. SketchPads are excellent places to view and edit TODO lists and share information on the Wiki that doesn't otherwise fit somewhere else.
Leadership: Governance & The CAB
Learn more about the leadership of the OpenSolaris project, including the Community Advisory Board (CAB) and important documents, such as the OpenSolaris Charter and OpenSolaris Governance Draft 03. Working Glossary containing definitions of constitutional and development process terms. A list of the Constitutional Principles to be incorporated is being maintained. Please also see the OpenSolaris Governing Board SketchPad and the Governance category.
