Hi folks,
Just a reminder. We are on for tonight.
Hope to see you there - and if you are yet to RSVP - please do, as we
ran out of Pizza last time due to some sneaky individuals! :)
Cheers!
Nathan.

ARGH. I did it again with the dates.
The subject line is correct, and now, the body is too.
One of these days, Alice... One of these days!!!

Hi lovers of the best UNIX in the world! ;)
Important note first up:
We (still) have a **new venue**: The NTT office in the World
Trade Centre. (Address Below)
This month, we have a mix of software and hardware discussion:
- Puppet: a quick (re)primer, what's going on in the world of
puppet and where is puppet at in Solaris.
- Oracle FS1 storage appliance.
Puppet continues to be a strong player in the configuration
management space, and Stuart Remphrey has kindly offered to share
some of his experience using it, dealing with the realities of
puppet, and maybe even some architecture for larger deployments. With
any luck this will also spawn some conversation among the folks
already using it and push along those not. :)
The Oracle FS1 storage appliance is a new and interesting storage
beastie. Oracle are continuing to create products that are awesome in
the 'Oracle on Oracle' space, and the FS1 is no different in that
respect... except that it's actually something you can pitch at
non-oracle workloads and still expect it to be a great performer.
I'll be chatting a little about architecture of the FS1, capabilities
and why you might be interested (especially in oracle on oracle
environments ;). Really, if you want an array with up to 7PB of
flash, this sucker is the thing for you!
So - come along and eat pizza and drink beer. I dare you.
(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:
http://mexico.purplecow.org/m/listinfo/msosug
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*** November the 19th at 18:00 for general
discussion and merriment.
Speakers start at 18:30 sharp, with Pizza arriving somewhere around
20:00ish.
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!
