Introductory materials, dev, beginner threads on [discord thread/channel for Solaris events](https://discord.gg/ySDPSefW)

**Contributors:**
This event brings together engineers, developers, and system enthusiasts to discuss **Solaris (Illumos distros i.e., OpenIndiana),** as well as the exciting possibilities of porting Unix systems to **ARM** and **RISC-V** architectures. We also cover Linux topics on similar hardware.

From legacy to open silicon, we’ll dive into real-world experiences, technical challenges, and innovations at the intersection of operating systems and emerging hardware platforms. Whether you're a Solaris veteran, a Linux-on-ARM hacker, or simply curious about the RISC-V revolution, this event offers a front-row seat to the next chapter in Unix history.

Our mission is to build a **modern, open Unix platform** designed for today's architectures and tomorrow's possibilities.

*Popular recent topics*
\- Solaris / Illumos kernel / development cycle in comparison with Linux
\- Licensing: CDDL vs GPL
\- DEs: Java desktop system\, Cosmic\, Gnome

**Users/Consumers:**
We are building a community that help people run Solaris related technologies on their systems. If you are having trouble running OpenIndiana or another Solaris distro on a device or ran into some issues we are here to help.

*Fun topics*: DEs: Cosmic-Desktop, your favorite tool / distro

Disclaimer: *we have no affiliation with current **corp. that acquired Solaris from Sun.** We do not provide support for their products. We only support the open-source versions of Solaris and its derivatives.*
