Hi folks!
We are back! And this time with some slightly different materials - a
mix of Core Solaris and some non-Solaris stuff.
Important note first up: We are still meeting in the NTT office in the
World Trade Centre. (Address Below)
This month, we have Dan Gangaiya doing a spot of iSCSI with Solaris.
Dan's recently been doing some more heavy lifting work with iSCSI,
including things like multi-initiator, multi-pathing and authentication
etc. I for one am looking forward to seeing how Dan approaches it! ;)
I'm also going to be doing a session on Getting started with Raspberry
Pi's; GPIO pins, digital and
analogue inputs and outputs and other Pi stuff. Don't expect mastery,
but if you are looking for someone fresh from just having worked out how
to do it himself to give yourself a kickstart, you should be in for a
treat. LEDs, ADC's, beepers, and perhaps RFID if I can make it work.
Finally - assuming he can think of something awesome, we might also have
Boyd present something!
The Monthly Mystery Door Prize (MMDP) continues. It might be great, it
might not. It might be an SSD or SCSI card, or a can of Pal, Whiskers or
something else... you won't know month to month what it is, or who will
get it. I'll be writing some awesome code (in C of course) to determine
who wins, and what they win. ;) (and it'll be available for open review
to ensure it's not cheating, by always awarding a Nyan Cat shirt to Richard)
Finally - If you would like to present something - let me know. There is
still space on the bill.
So - come along, talk, listen, eat pizza and drink beer (and maybe even
eat Pal.). I dare you.
(Gavin - I'm *still* looking (As one other observer noted: Now using my
'Gorgon Stare Mk II'(tm) ) 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*** August 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!
