An open source project OpenSolaris that sponsored by Sun Microsystems has opened another new portal which is in Russian language today. OpenSolaris is a project that founded in early 2004 with the aim to create a strong Web community that love, promote and advocate the Solaris operating system (OS) throughout the world. Most of the people that sign-up to this community are those that have been interacted with Solaris OS at some stage before, and with this amount of people that Sun believed the Solaris OS can be enhanced and strengthened in term of functionality. It is due to the fact that the future releases of the Solaris OS will be built from the source code that have been tested, maintained and improved from the people of this OpenSolaris project.
