This month's Silicon Valley Open Solaris User Group will be held at the Sun Menlo Park campus. All non-Sun employees should send an RSVP to be registered in the system so they can badge in at the MPK17 lobby.
Those of you who showed up at the July meeting will remember that this was more difficult that it could have been had more people RSVP'd ahead of time. However, fear not, we will get you badged and allow you access to the meeting, at whatever length we need to go. This month's meeting will features some topics that rate fairly high on the coolness scale, or at least I hope so. We will kick the meeting off with Bart Smaalders and Phil Harman giving a short presentation on libmicro, a library which Bart *and* Phil developed to look at performance on Solaris. Both Bart and Phil will explain how they use libmicro to improve the performance, and since libmicro is released as a part of Open Solaris, all folks can get access and use it. The main presentation of the evening will on Power Management and the Solaris ACPI subsystem. The speakers for the main presentation will be Dana Meyers and Randy Fishel. Dana has worked on both the new boot architecture team, and now works on the Power Management team. He has done some work at Sun and I consider Dana to be another one of Sun's exceptional engineers. He focuses on ACPI issues for the Power Management team. Randy will be showing an AMD64 system (of his selection;-) performing suspend and resume, a major task for Solaris x86 which few folks would have ever thought possible. As always we will be taking questions and providing the best possible answer to them which we can. All of you folks who have come to our user group meetings have seen the level of engineers that we have support our community, and this meeting will be no exception.
