  • Inventors, Technologists and Entrepreneurs
    19 November 2013 We, the undersigned, are a group of inventors, technologists and entrepreneurs. Many of us have founded technology businesses; we have invented many of the protocols, systems and devices that make the Internet work, and we are collectively listed as the inventors on over 150 patents. We write to you today about the U.S. patent system. That system is broken. Based on our experiences building and deploying new digital technologies, we believe that software patents are doing more harm than good. Perhaps it is time to reexamine the idea, dating from the 1980s, that government-issued monopolies on algorithms, protocols and data structures are the best way to promote the advancement of computer science. But that will be a complex task, and one we don't expect to happen quickly. Unfortunately, aspects of the problem have become so acute they must be addressed immediately. Broad, vague patents covering software-type inventions—some of which we ourselves are listed as inventors on—are a malfunctioning component of America's inventive machinery. This is particularly the case when those patents end up in the hands of non-practicing patent trolls. These non-practicing entities do not make or sell anything. Their exploitation of patents as a tool for extortion is undermining America’s technological progress; patent trolls are collecting taxes on innovation by extracting billions of dollars in dubious licensing fees, and wasting the time and management resources of creative businesses. Many of us would have achieved much less in our careers if the trolling problem had been as dire in past decades as it is now.

OS as in Operating System Note: illumos not Illumos or IllumOS “illumos” trademark application in review. Visual branding still under consideration. Not All of OpenSolaris is Open Source ● Critical components closed source – libc_i18n (needed for working C library) – NFS lock manager – Portions of crypto framework – Numerous critical drivers (e.g. mpt) ● Presents challenges to downstream dependents – Nexenta, Belenix, SchilliX, etc. – See “Darwin” and “MacOS X” for the worst case What's Good ● The Technology! – ZFS, DTrace, Crossbow, Zones, etc. ● The People – World class engineers! – Great community of enthusiasts – Vibrant ecosystem ● The Code is Open – Well most of it, at least illumos – the Project ● Derivative (child) of OS/Net (aka ON) – Solaris/OpenSolaris kernel and foundation – 100% ABI compatible with Solaris ON – Now a real fork of ON, but will merge when code available from Oracle ● No closed code – Open source libc, kernel, and drivers! ● Repository for other “experimental” innovations – Can accept changes from contributors that might not be acceptable to upstream illumos – the Ecosystem ● illumos-gate is just ON – Focused on “Core Foundation Blocks” – Flagship project ● Expanding to host other affiliated projects – Umbrella organization – X11 components? – Desktop components? – C++ Runtime? – Distributions? illumos – the Community ● Stands independently

    Nexenta, OpenStorage and Commercial Open Source Anil Gulecha Developer / Community Lead, Nexenta Core Platform What we'll cover Nexenta Core Platform OpenSolaris Ubuntu Nexenta's difference Distribution Creation Derivatives Nexenta.org Commercial Open Source The OpenStorage Industry NexentaStor www.nexentastor.org Nexenta Core Platform Nexenta is a combination of two great technologies: OpenSolaris : The enterprise class FOSS kernel Ubuntu userland : The most popular *nix userland and packaging framework Started in 2005 as a desktop distribution, based on Ubuntu. Proved hard to support due to small dev team Starting from early 2008, the project only concentrated on a command-line only core platform, which became known as the Nexenta Core Platform. The focus was to create the one of the best server platform out there. NCP: The OpenSolaris side Nexenta is based on the opensolaris kernel. It thus has goodies like The ZFS filesystem, which has revolutionized the open source file systems arena. Dtrace, which provides administrators and developers with the ability to analyze the system in a fine-grained manner. Zones, the lightweight virtualization which allows for opensolaris (and linux) virtualization on Nexenta. Nexenta maintains patches of it's own improvements to the OpenSolaris kernel, which includes patches providing iSCSI on ZFS volumes, and CIFS performance. To fit into the Ubuntu/Debian model, the opensolaris kernel is packaged as .deb packages, for ex: sunwckr : the core kernel runtime package sunwzfs : the zfs package NCP: The Ubuntu side All userland packages, which include shell commands, server packages, tools and utilities are ports of upstream Ubuntu packages. Ubuntu has a lot of packages.
