Hi folks,
We are back on - two months in a row!! :) and - it's more of what we all
want to talk about. The new M10 servers, and all things being equal,
Richard Spindler talking about PAM/RSA stuff on Solaris/Linux.
If we get time (and Richard tells me his talk won't be a long one), I'll
also run you through one of my recent shenanigans dealing with a dud
archive... Involved writing some rubbish C too, so you can see just how
rusty (and lazy) I have become. ;)
(Gavin - you still get a reprieve - but I'm *still* looking at you and
the vm2 subsystem!! heh heh.) :).
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:
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.
If you want to get someone else subscribed to this list - send them here:

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 June the 19th 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):
- Nathan talking about M10: What are they, and what are they good for,
and when would I get an M10 versus an M5, versus a T5 or a T4?
This will likely evolve into a broad interactive discussion, as
there are many opinions on this front, and it would be great to have
that discussion!
- Richard Spindler presenting on his experiences on RSA/RAM
integration for Solaris/Linux.
- Optionally, Nathan talking about his foolish escapades with a
rubbish archive format... (and discussion of a better solution perhaps? ;)
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
[email protected] 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!
Cheers!
