OpenSolaris Blogs

Lots of OpenSolaris community members are talking about Solaris and OpenSolaris in their blogs. We've been aggregating all of those we know about here. If you are blogging about OpenSolaris and would like to get your blog added to the collection, send mail to add-my-blog AT sun DOT com for consideration* with the following information: (1) your full name, (2) your OpenSolaris registration ID, (3) your blog's address, and (4) your blog's RSS/Atom feed.

OpenSolaris bloggers are using tagging extensively. You can find more OpenSolaris content using these tags, and you can apply them to your own blog entries and web pages too. Our tag is OpenSolaris on Technorati, del.icio.us, and Flickr. Even if you don't have a blog, you can use the OpenSolaris tag to categorize your bookmarks on del.icio.us.

* Our site supports Atom (0.3) and RSS (0.90, 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 1.0, and 2.0)
