Line 12: == History == OpenSolaris is based on Solaris, which was originally released by Sun in 1991. Sun Microsystems released the bulk of the Solaris system source code in OpenSolaris on June 14, 2005, which made it possible for developers to create other OpenSolaris distributions. [[Sine Nomine Associates]] began a project to bring OpenSolaris to the IBM mainframe in July, 2006.<ref>[http://www.sinenomine.net/node/411 IBM Expresses Interest in OpenSolaris for System Z Project]</ref> The project was named ''Sirius'' (in analogy to the Polaris project to port OpenSolaris to PowerPC, and also due to the primary developer's Australian nationality: [[HMS Sirius (1786)\|HMS ''Sirius'']] of ~~1786~~1787-88 was a ship of the [[First Fleet]] to [[Australia]]). In April, 2007, Sine Nomine presented an initial progress report at IBM's System z Technical Expo conference. At the [[Gartner]] Data Center Conference in [[Las Vegas, Nevada]] in late 2007, Sine Nomine demonstrated OpenSolaris running on IBM System z under [[z/VM]]. It was there that David Boyes of Sine Nomine stated that OpenSolaris for System z would be available "soon."<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma0XPN2z6Qc&feature=related Open Solaris on System Z demo part III], YouTube Video</ref>
