 The Nightingale project is the playground of developers porting Songbird, the cross-platform media player that 'plays the web' to OpenSolaris. The project is endorsed by the Desktop Group. » Last week, thanks to the efforts of Alfred, the tarball build for x86 was made available.
It's made on Alfred's box with Solaris Nevada 93, Sun Studio 12.
Jim Grisanzio took this picture of the Nightingale Project Leaders at the OpenSolaris Developer's Summit last May.

Community-Driven
OpenSolaris technical communities develop a wealth of features from storage software and ZFS, to comprehensive system analysis tools like DTrace. We work on virtualization projects with Logical Domains, Xen, and Zones and Containers. We have very active groups developing high availability clustering, installation and packaging, networking and security technologies.
Our community represents a wide variety of developers, administrators, instructors and students around the world. Everyone has something to contribute.
