Hi All, Just to offer up more talk topics: - I could talk about pretty much anything Solaris - There is a team at Sun Burlington who work on OpenSolaris and I'm fairly sure they'd give a BBLISA talk if you'd like - My colleague knows the Sun 7000 (new NAS device) backward and forward and again I'm fairly sure he'd give a talk if you'd like.
