OpenIndiana is a project aiming to create a Linux-like system build on the Illumos (OpenSolaris) kernel. That project's lead has just resigned in a most bitter manner. "All of you, Joyent, Nexenta, Delphix, are complicit in the increasing irrelevance of Illumos. OI, even in it's current current state, is by far the most widely used Illumos distro, so by not supporting it beyond contributing to the Illumos core, you've all shot yourselves in the foot." (Thanks to Paul Wise).
