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

A welcoming meetup for engineers, developers, and curious tinkerers exploring illumos derivatives like OpenIndiana alongside Linux. The focus is on the underlying systems that power AI—kernels, filesystems, schedulers, containers/zones, drivers, and toolchains—while welcoming ideas and cross‑pollination from adjacent projects.

**Who it’s for**
Enthusiasts running or curious about illumos distros in labs, homelabs, and servers, plus Linux users who enjoy practical systems work and collaborative learning.

**Popular topics**

* OpenZFS: pools, snapshots, send/receive, compression, encryption.
* COSMIC DE, nushell and other trending open-source projects.
* How to make development faster, user friendly and more welcoming to new contributors.

**Getting help**
Bring installs, configs, packaging, or driver questions—expect friendly troubleshooting and pointers to docs and project hubs.

**Notes and disclaimer**
\- Following topics are also welcome as long as there's interest: x86\, ARM\, RISC‑V\, Licensing: CDDL vs GPL\.
\- This community centers on open‑source Solaris derivatives \(illumos/OpenIndiana\) and related ecosystems; no affiliation with Oracle Solaris\, and no support for Oracle products\.
