Hi folks,
Well, after a period of being superbly and crazily busy, we are finally
finding both time and presenters to get back to our regular program.
This month, we'll have yours truly, who has strapped some tech back on
for a while to see if it still fits, along with Boyd, as a minimum. (We
might have a third, but will see how we go... (Gavin - I'm looking at
you and the vm2 subsystem!!)).
I'll be chatting about what started out as a simple Solaris 11 express
to 11.1 upgrade, which turned into a nightmare of epic proportions, from
which I learned a bunch of interesting things, and Boyd will be talking
power use of the packaging stuff and AI. (I think that's what he said
he'd talk about).
So - two interesting S11 topics! woohoo! (I might also talk a little
about Ops Centre, depending on how far I get through the stuff I'm doing
this coming week or so - if only to allude to what's going on in the
product.).
Again - 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
Cluster 4.0, 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)... 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 February the 20th 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):
- Boyd talking power IPS and AI stuff
- Nathan talking another self-induced horror doing an S11 Express to
S11.1 upgrade, and the valuable learnings he took from it!
- If we are lucky: Gavin Maltby talking about the Solaris 11.1 VM2
subsystem and the coolness it brings
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
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!
