Hi folks,
I'm told that my other email address is being marked as [email protected] by a
number of filters, so I'm sending a final note now just in case there
are some that wanted to come that hadn't seen the email! (Actually - I
have had to resend this message again as well, as it turns out that
merely by having the work [email protected] in the email is enough to get it
rejected by Optus's sending filter. Talk about dumb. Anyhoo...
We are on tonight! Please let me know if you are coming. :) (and note
that we are still on at the world trade centre)
We are talking M7 chip, M7 and T7 systems and a brief chat on some
interesting system / zfs / sata / HDD interactions that were a little
weird to get a proper handle on... M7: I want one... (and I'd only need
one... it would do *everything* I could possibly want to do at home from
a Unix perspective... ;)
If someone wants to buy me a T7-1, I'll be most appreciative.
Oh - and I have remembered the door prize this time! :) It's already in
the car. (and it's not a can of Pal...)
Cheers,
Nathan.

Hi folks,
We are only 2 days away, and I haven't had a lot of acceptances...
Being that I'm not at NTT any more, I need you to let me know if you
are coming, so the guys still there (Thanks, Hugh and Darko!) are
able to get the drinks and pizza sorted...
So - please RSVP ASAP so we can talk SPARC at MSOSUG.
(FYI - I have located some excellent info on the M7 based systems, so
we should have a good night of interesting info! I'm also going to
spend a few minutes dealing with hard disk issues on non-sun hardware...)
:)
Cheers!
Nathan.

Hi folks!
I missed that this week was the 3rd Wednesday already! So - let's
get together next week instead.
Important note first up: We are still meeting in the NTT office in
the World Trade Centre, and its the **4th Wednesday** of the month
this time. (Address Below)
I thought that given December's meeting usually doesn't happen, we'd
aim for a big November meet. We have a LOT to talk about... Oracle
OpenWorld has happened and there were a slew of announcements there,
including the actual release of the M7 and T7 platforms.
So: I'll be covering the M7 / T7 platforms - Architecture, CPU, a
little more on the Software in Silicon story and some discussion of
how it puts SPARC/Solaris back into the lead in terms of platforms
to be using for enterprise workloads. If you still have SPARC, or
are running or considering running large sale Oracle environments,
if the M7 chip and associated platforms don't get your attention,
you are just not concentrating. ;)
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.
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 III'(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.
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 25th 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!
