Japan OpenSolaris Portal Opens | 02/22/2007

The Japanese OpenSolaris community opened their portal today: http://jp.opensolaris.org/

This represents the first country portal on opensolaris.org. The project is just beginning, though, so if you'd like to participate in the development of the Japan OpenSolaris portal, sign up on the discussions page here http://jp.opensolaris.org/forums/. The announcement from Sun Japan is here http://jp.sun.com/company/Press/release/2007/0222.html.

The Japan portal is part of the OpenSolaris country portal project, which is an effort to translate the content on opensolaris.org into as many languages as possible: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/portals/. It's a community effort, so you are more than welcome to get involved: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/portals/discussions/.
