Alan DuBoff of Sun Microsystems will speak on the new release of OpenSolaris, formerly known as Project Indiana. In addition, Alan will also be discussing some of the open source software currently being developed between Sun and the communities. Such software includes Virtual Box, OpenOffice, MySQL, Xen/Xvm. | |||||||||

Alan DuBoff worked on the Kerbango Internet Radio, which was an early adopter of Embedded Linux. Alan will show the Kerbango radio, open it up and explain the components designed into it, and what it takes to turn ideas into real products. The Kerbango radio received a Best Innovation award at the 2001 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, receiving almost as quick of a death from the parent company who acquired it. Understand why this was such a controversial product for the industry. Selecting Linux was a much more difficult choice 9 years ago than it is today. Linux is really leaving the embedded space tossed on it's ear. There are lots of devices coming to market and being developed which run Embedded Linux. This is truly one of the most exciting areas of the high tech industry, and certainly for the Linux community as a whole. Learn some about the roots of Linux in the embedded space, how it has been evolving, and what still plagues it. | |||||||||

Alan also currently works in the Solaris x86 IHV/OEM group where he works with both hardware and software vendors, as well as working with the OpenSolaris community with part of his time. Alan has been working at Sun Microsystems for close to 5 years. Prior to working at Sun, Alan was a lead engineer on the Kerbango Internet Radio project, one of the early adopters of Monta Vista Embedded Linux. Alan worked at VA Linux Systems (and VA Research before that;-) where he wrote and maintained the backend of their order/entry system for about 1.5 years. He worked on WebVan for a year before going to VA, and has been a consultant around Silicon Valley for close to 15 years, working at many large companies. Alan has been consulting to the high tech industry for more than 25 years. Alan founded and is President of the Silicon Valley OpenSolaris User Group (SVOSUG) which meets in Santa Clara, CA, at the Sun Microsystems Santa Clara Campus. He has run user groups with IBM, Microsoft, and Heathkit in the past, as well as being a long standing member in the communities of BayLISA, SVLUG, Debian, and the BSD. He has given presentations at the LISA conferences as well as OSCON, JavaOne, and Sun Network. Alan is currently involved in a project to port flask/type_enforcement to OpenSolaris with a project called Flexible Mandatory Access Control (FMAC). This is the technology used in SELinux for Madatory Access Control (MAC). | |||||||||
