This Thursday, Sept. 28, 2006, we're glad to have a couple nice presentations for folks.
First off, we'll be having a short presentation on the Sun Studio tools. Find out what new features have been added recentely, what new features are being worked on, and how you can use Sun Studio to create programs that run on Linux as well as Solaris. This enables our community to develop applications that will compile for either Solaris x64, Solaris SPARC, and Linux. Luan Yin, one of the leads from the tools group will be at SVOSUG to share this information with you. The main presentation will feature Glenn Faden giving you the nuts and bolts on Trusted Solaris. How many folks know that Sun has putback trusted extentions to OpenSolaris? Did you know those changes are coming to S10 via the update channel (Glenn should have more info on that). To some this might not seem very important, but consider that knowing the source our data is coming from, who sent it, and where that data has been routed might be more valuable to you than you might suspect as we move forward in the future. This is truely technology that makes you wonder how security will be on our computers in the future. Knowing that people can access your computer from anywhere in the world once connected can certainly fuel the thought process on keeping unwanted traffic off of them. OpenSolaris has had role based access included with it for quite some time, and this lends to helping create a trusted environment. Glenn will be able to explain to you how labels and other security features can be used in a full trusted environment. Hear it straight from the folks that work in Sun's security department within Solaris engineering, and learn how these ideas will play a big role in the future of computing.
