Last reminder, (as I'm out and about tomorrow night, so won't get a chance.)
We are on! We have achieved quorum, and I have sufficient clue to
present without looking like a complete fool.
Well - at least the opportunity exists. ;)
Solaris 11.2 is really starting to look the best reason ever to stop
using Solaris 10...
Hope to see you there.
If you have not yet told me you are coming, please let me know, so we
can organise pizza/drinks.
Cheers!
Nathan.

Hi folks,
FYI, right now (and for a little while over the beta period) I have
been playing with kernel zones, and it looks very cool.
Expect that I'll spend some proper time on Wednesday talking about
this particularly interesting new feature.
It's zones, but not like you know it.
With any luck, I'll be able to get a few of the cooler party tricks
running on these suckers and demo on the night. :)
mmm...
Want something lighter than an LDOM, with faster I/O, (notionally)
lower memory footprint, lower memory and cpu overhead, with sub-thread
scheduling, and all the tastyness of zones???
Kernel zones are the answer. (What was the question??)
See you there Wednesday!
Cheers!
Nathan.

Hi SUGgers of MSO, (It sounded better in my head)
It's May already, and *Solaris 11.2* has released! (At least in Beta)
So - it's time to rip the covers off the what's new and see what
matters to us as a group.
(Gavin - I'm *still* looking at you and the vm2 subsystem one of
these days!! heh heh.) :).
This month, we'll chat at least in high level detail about a bunch of
the coolness that's arrived in S11.2, have some quick demo's and if
time permits, look at a feature or two in detail.
Hope to see you there, and if you would like to present on anything
in S11.2 that you have already played with, let me know, and I'll
make space for you in the program!
Oh - For reference - On the list of what folks wanted to see - we
collectively decided we'd like to talk about the following in the
coming months:
DTrace stuff (including a re-intro/primer as we have a bunch of new
folks in the group), Solaris 11 (going deep into the new stuff), (eg:
ipadm, dladm, tuned versus vanilla, etc), Pillar storage, OEL/OL
(Oracle Linux)... Anyone who wants to volunteer would be most welcome. :)
See below for topics/speakers.
If you want to get someone else subscribed to this list - send them here:

Please respond in the positive OR negative ASAP so Pizza and Drinks
can be planned.
Where?
Level 5, 417 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, VIC 3004.
*** NOTE THAT THIS ADDRESS IS THE ORACLE BUILDING ***
When?
***Wednesday*** May the 21st at 18:00 for general
discussion and merriment.
Speakers start at 18:30 sharp, with Pizza arriving somewhere around
20:00ish.
Speakers / Topics will mostly be (Expect this to be revised with more
stuff as more people volunteer):
- Nathan Kroenert - talking about Solaris 11.2 - what's new and why
we care. (And how it is that Solaris just got a whole lot more
interesting)
I'm looking for Topics/Speakers for *next* month as well.
Soft drink, coffee/tea and Pizza will be available. (YES - FOOD.)
**If you plan to attend, please reply NOW to
[email protected] so that we
can plan for seating / pizza / drinks!**
To anyone who meets with or talks to folks interested in Solaris: Please
let everyone know about the meeting, the time and the date. We would
love to continue to continue to grow the group.
A note on access: The Lifts in the building and entrance to Level 5
automatically lock early in the evening, so access will be provided by
Oracle folks on-site. A sign will also be placed close to the ground
floor lifts with a contact number, should you arrive after the start of
the meeting.
If you are interested in Solaris, doing interesting things with, or on
Solaris, we want YOU!
Cheers!
