Hi all,
We're happy to announce the 11th Irish OpenSolaris User Group meeting.
Topic: Lightning Talks & Installfest
Date: Tuesday 26th June 2007
Time: 7pm onwards
Location: DIT Kevin St, Lecture Theatre KE: G-007
This month, we're trying something new.
We're going to hold a series of Lightning Talks[1] about all things
OpenSolaris-related. The idea is, to do short 5-minute presentations,
big on content, low on slideware - a high signal to noise ratio: if
you're not interested in the current topic, just wait 5 minutes for the
next!
So far, we'll have talks on:
BFU^HI - A Blindingly Fast Introduction to OpenSolaris
June in review
2007 - some fast highlights
But that's just the first 15 minutes - for this to work, we need
participation from you lot: please send mail to the list if you'd be
willing to give a 5-minute, 3-slide talk[2] next Tuesday, and what
you're planning to speak about - we'll add you to the schedule at:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/ie-osug/iosug-11
We'll try to record the audio of the session if you can't make it in
person.
There's also going to be an install-server in the room, loaded with the
latest sets of OpenSolaris bits in a variety of distributions, so bring
along machines you'd like to have installed, or blank media to take
copies of these images.
Oh - June marks the 2nd Anniversary of the OpenSolaris project, so I'll
try to bring along Birthday Cake as well :-)
See you on Tuesday - note the venue change, thanks to the guys at DIT
for helping us out there.
Now hit "Reply", and get yourself added to the schedule!!
cheers,
tim
