Hi lovers of the best UNIX in the world! ;)
We are back.
Two important notes first up:
We will have a **new venue**: The NTT office in the World Trade
Centre. (Address Below)
We are meeting on the fourth Wednesday this month - the 22nd of
October. (3rd Wednesday came up too fast!!)
OK - now... Being back all fresh and shiny from OpenWorld, I have lots
to talk about. New SPARC hardware, Solaris 11.2 (which is now release
and not beta) and a quick overview of what else is new and changing in
the systems space...
I'm also playing with Oracle DB in multiple virtualisation environments
(principally kernel zones) but I expect that's another month or so away.
(Interesting, however, how quickly you can go from 150 to 300 to 1600
transactions per second just jacking with your ZFS config...)
So - come along and eat pizza and drink beer. I dare you.
At minimum, I'll be covering the M7 CPU and expected systems and
anything else I can share from the systems guys on the upcoming new
generation boxes, along with a few point topics on Solaris 11.2 now that
it's out in the wild.
(Gavin - I'm *still* looking at you and the vm2 subsystem one of these
days!! heh heh.) :).
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!
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?
The NTT office,
Level 7, Tower 4, World Trade Centre
18-22 Siddeley Street, Melbourne. (**NOTE: This is
NOT the oracle building any more**)
Walk in the front of the building, and head to the
lifts to the left past the security desk, go to level 7.
There is parking available close by, though I can't
speak to the price. I believe it's cheap
off-peak parking though...
When?
***Wednesday*** June the 18th 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 the M7 CPU and systems and some of
the stuff he got out of OpenWorld
- Anyone else that wants to talk.
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!
