Folks,
The Unix Users Association of Southern California are having a bunch of
people in to talk about virtualization.
They are going to have someone from each of Sun, Xen, VMWare, and IBM.
It ought to be a good meeting.
I'm probably going to go up for it.

UUASC-LA
Unix Users Association of Southern California
Los Angeles County Chapter
March 2007 Meeting
---------------------------------------------
UNIX Server Virtualization Round Table
---------------------------------------------
Thursday, Mar. 1, 7-9 pm
Sun Microsystems, Inc.
222 N. Sepulveda in El Segundo
10th Floor -- Martinique Room
---------------------------------------------
What if your boss tells you that the company's servers need to be
shared by multiple isolated applications running under multiple OS's?
What if there is no budget to dedicate each server for only one
operating system? What are your options? It turns out that there are
numerous solutions, but who has time to investigate all of the
alternatives? Well, what if we brought a host of them to you on the
same stage in one night for you to choose for yourself?
At the March meeting of UUASC-LA, Jordan Schwartz who has presented
talks to us in both the LA and OC chapters returns to host a panel
discussion focused on the various aspects of UNIX server
virtualization. The panel members that will include some of UUASC's
biggest names on the topic will take questions from our audience.
The panel includes Sun Engineer John Clingan who returns to talk about
Dynamic System Domains, Logical Domains, and Zones. Phil Anthony from
VMware returns to speak about VMware ESX and VMotion. Charles Wyble
makes his UUASC speaking debut by talking about Open Source UNIX
virtualization projects including XEN and QEMU, and a speaker to be
announced will talk about IBM UNIX Virtualization solutions including
Dynamic Logical Partitions, Micro Partitions and Vitrual I/O
partitions.
After the meeting, you are invited to mingle with many of the chapter
members at UUASC-LA's favorite dining and drinking spot. Details will
be presented at the meeting.

is an important landmark. The meeting venue is in the Oracle building
(222 Sepulveda) on the Southeast corner, just before the intersection,
on the right. The Free Parking is *across* the intersection, in the
Northeast corner on the right.

Continue northbound across the intersection, turn into the first

Short stairs lead from the raised parking lot to the sidewalk. Walk

Microsystems office) is in the "Oracle" building, closest to the
southeast corner of the Sepulveda/Grand intersection. Entrances are
located on the Oracle building's North and South sides. However, after
business hours, the North side is closed; go to the South entrance.
If the doors are locked here, the security guard can open it; politely
knock on the door to get their attention.
Enter and sign in, inform the guard that you want to go to the Sun
Microsystems offices on the 10th floor. That means the elevators to
the right, and the guard will likely need to activate the elevator for
you. The UUASC meeting is in Sun's offices on the 10th floor.

that number won't be available after business hours (5:30). After that

excellent hospitality. And, UUASC wants to thank our host, Sun

UUASC is for all persons using UNIX either personally or
professionally, or interested in learning more about UNIX. We
recognize all varieties of UNIX, including (without prejudice) SCO,
Linux, SVr4, Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, and BSD. This is a good place to
meet others with similar interests and broaden your skills and
knowledge.
There are two UUASC chapters serving Los Angeles and Orange
Counties. Meeting locations for each chapter are detailed at our web
site, http://www.uuasc.org. Please visit our web site.
There are no dues or other membership requirements. More than 300
persons receive our monthly meeting announcements. Meeting attendance
varies to as high as 75. Hershel Remer serves as UUASC president and
leads a team of volunteers who together manage the club. More
volunteers are always needed.
Los Angeles County Chapter meetings are normally held the first Thursday
of each month from 7 to 9 pm ( or whenever we feel like stopping ).
Generally, meetings include a technical presentation on a hardware or
software topic of current interest to the UNIX community and a
round-table discussion of current topics of interest to the group.
UUASC-LA needs future topic suggestions (and volunteers)!!
