SUN: Sun Microsystems' Ian Murdock Keynotes LinuxTag 2008

Murdock to Discuss the Community-led Evolution that is Reshaping the Software Industry; Highlights New Developments for OpenSolaris (Free Download at www.opensolaris.com), Open High Availability (HA) Cluster and OpenOffice.org Extension Repository

/noticias.info/ BERLIN LinuxTag 2008, 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 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 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 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 and 32 or 64-bit x86 hardware. Download Open HA Cluster for free at www.opensolaris.org/os/community/ha-clusters/ohac
