Hi folks!
We are on! (And sorry about the late notice... has been very busy!)
Important note first up: With thanks to the kind folks @ NTT, we are
still meeting in the NTT office in the World Trade Centre (Address Below)
Big thanks to Boyd for last meeting's babble on Git and Richard for not
having too many cat videos! :) Wish I was there for that one!
So - for this month... Richard Spindler is going to talk about some of
the build automation work he has been doing across multiple platforms
and OS's. He and I had a quick chat about it, and it was pretty damn
interesting. Also interested to hear how he solved some of the issues he
was coming across.
I'm also looking to chat a little about a performance issue I have been
chasing relating to iSCSI (yes... I'm using iSCSI... :\) and zvols.
It'll likely be more of an observation sort of thing, as I doubt I'll
get to a root cause by the 20th, but you never know. I'm part way
through some dTrace for looking at zvol activities, though it's taking
more time than I remember. ;) I'm sure I'll have at least something
interesting to talk about on it by then though...!
Finally - I'm going to see if Boyd or perhaps Gavin might add
something... (Gavin?? VM2? ;) Oh - and 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.
(Yes Gavin - I'm *still* looking (As one other observer noted: Now
using my 'Gorgon Stare Mk VII'(tm) *http://tinyurl.com/jo4sxtb *) at you
and the vm2 subsystem one of these days!! heh heh.) :).
Hope to see you all there, and if you would like to present on anything
in S11.3 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*** May the 18th 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!
