Hi lovers of the only OS that comes with Dtrace, ZFS, FMA and SMF! ;)
Important note first up: We are still meeting in the NTT office in the
World Trade Centre. (Address Below)
This month, we are going to have a moderated roundtable discussion all
around what's going on in everyone's life around Solaris and the usual 1
(or so) degree(s) of separation from it.
Nothing is really off limits - including what you are doing with
Solaris, Storage, Systems (connected to Solaris), or even how you are
using things (like Linux, windows or BSD for example) where you *should*
be using Solaris (heh), and why you are (or are not) doing X, y or Z.
(Oh - and I have a Sunblade 2500 that's going cheap if someone wants
one. Let me know!)
So - come along, talk, listen, 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), 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*** January the 21st 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!
