Gretings!
s/ret/reet/ (Sorry - has been really REALLY busy. No time for the
development of new gags this month. ;)
Last month, we got a look at where LDOMS are really up to, and what we
can do with them, including the startling realisation of how much faster
we can push things from one box to another with more cores to do memory
compression/encryption before being pushed onto the wire. Cool.
This month, Paul Kangro from Oracle will be giving us a run down on
Oracle VM (The x64 one!), and if we can swing it - a second topic. (I
had one lined up, but it's fallen through.) I'm also going to briefly
present the Solaris 11 CheatSheet.
I'd love to see if we can get a second speaker - so if you have ideas
you can do - lemme know.
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:
LDOMS, Cluster 4.0, Full scale Ops Centre Demo, 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), Pillar storage, OEL/OL (Oracle Linux), OVM... Anyone who
wants to volunteer would be most welcome. :)
See below for topics/speakers.
Please respond in the positive OR negative ASAP so Pizza and Drinks can
be planned.
Where?
Level 5, 417 St Kilda Road, Melbourne, VIC 3004.
*** NOTE THAT THIS ADDRESS IS THE ORACLE BUILDING ***
When?
Wednesday March the 21st at 18:00 for general discussion
and merriment.
Speakers start at 18:30 sharp, with Pizza arriving somewhere around
20:00ish.
Speakers / Topics will mostly be (Expect this to be revised with more
stuff as more people volunteer):
- Paul Kangro from Oracle will be giving us a run down on Oracle VM.
We'll see how it compares to others, and get a chance to see what's
awesome in this (relatively) new version
- Solaris 11 CheatSheet (Quick topic)
- Lemme know if you have a topic for the second session.
I'm looking for topics 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
nathan.kroen...@optusnet.com.au 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!
