Nexenta Operating System, also known as GNU/Solaris, is a combination of the enterprise class OpenSolaris kernel with GNU userland applications provided by Debian/GNU and Ubuntu Operating Systems.

Members of the GNU/Solaris project believe that the combination of OpenSolaris kernel with Debian's dpkg based packaging system and big network repositories of properly packaged and integrated applications coming not only from GNU world are the right way to go for ordinary users, developers, and administrators who would rather concentrate on their business competitive advantages than on infrastructure problem solving.

The talk will summarize the past of GNU/Solaris development, describe the main features and competitive advantages of GNU/Solaris, along with its development model, and promises for the future. It will also concentrate on some problematic aspects of free software and opensource that are directly touching development of GNU/Solaris.
