Hi all,
We are going to cancel this month's meeting. :(
Thanks to those who responded that they were or were not coming.
It turns out that quite a lot of folks can't make this month, so with
apologies to those who said yes, I'm going to make the call to push it
to next month, on the 17th of August.
We'll have a full program for that one too - with Richard doing this
thing on build automation, I'll definitely have the zvol dtrace
discussion done, and Boyd said he had something interesting to talk
about too.
So - See you all then.
As a follower to this, I'm now un-engaged for tomorrow night. Anyone
want to do dinner with me at Killiney Kopitam?

Was thinking we'd meet there at 6:30pm...
Reply direct to me if you are interested. :)
Cheers,
Nathan.

Yes - thanks to those that pointed out my last email was gibberish.
(You know who you are).
It should have read "we are *yet* to reach quorum... ;)

Hi all,
We are to reach a quorum in terms of numbers who say they are coming.
Please let me know ASAP if you plan to come - or we'll be looking to
push the meeting either by a week, or a month.
Cheers,
Natha.

With apologies to those that noticed that the date in the subject is
different to the body. Sigh.
Indeed - it's July 20th.
And - should you know others that have come in the past, reach out
to them to make sure they are getting these emails. I'm aware that a
number of folks have been seeing the messages late because they are
being classified as junk. (How could anything with Solaris in the
title possibly be junk?? ;)
Cheers again,
Nathan.

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:
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.
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*** July the 20th 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!
