Illumos Cafe Hopes To Reinvigorate Interest In Illumos/OpenSolaris Derived Platforms
It's been 15 years already since the Illumos project was formed as based on the OpenSolaris codebase after Oracle's acquisition of Sun Microsystems and closing down OpenSolaris. Illumos Cafe is a new effort akin to BSD Cafe aiming to be a resource and helping to reinvigorate interest in Illumos-based platforms.
Illumos Cafe aims to be a resource to help in building interest and support around Illumos-based operating systems like OpenIndiana, SmartOS, OmnisOS, and Tribblix. The volunteer-run space wants to help in "fighting monoculture" with technological diversity beyond the likes of just Linux and BSD platforms:

"This cafe is a sister project to BSD Cafe, founded on the belief that technological diversity is essential. In a world dominated by a few mainstream platforms, we're here to prove that robust, reliable, and innovative alternatives don't just exist - they thrive.
We provide a space where choice and creativity flourish, ensuring that the rich tapestry of computing continues to grow."
