The user group will provide a stable base for the free exchange of ideas and experience. One of our goals will be to educate the users by presentations by Sun Microsystems, the OpenSolaris community and by our members. A secondary purpose is to encourage membership by students, researchers and engineers working in industry. We will also encourage student adoption and student projects. Project Needs: This project requires project space on OpenSolaris.org site. The project also requires a mailing list. Suggested list name is ug-dosug at opensolaris.org. Proposed Projects: We plan to initiate workshops and user group meetings in Denmark, with a focus on using OpenSolaris. Step 1 is to gather membership and further support for the user group from the universities and the open source community in Denmark. Future activities will be presentations and workshops on topics including: * Introduction to Dtrace * The ZFS filesystem * OpenSolaris - Features Overview * Virtualization, Zones, xVM, ldoms * OpenSolaris install-kickstart Related past activities: 2005: LinuxForum presentation Solaris Dtrace 2006: LinuxForum presentation Solaris ZFS filesystem 2006: LinuxForum BOF-day presentation OpenSolaris 2007: LinuxForum presentation Solaris & Apache webserver --- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
