NOTE: Phillip "Flip" Russell is no longer working at Sun, and has helped for the past few years with SVOSUG. I would like to thank Phillip for helping out and hope that you'll keep in touch with us.
I had been planning to host the meeting last week when Lori Alt was visiting, but Lori was busy on Thurs., but we did tape a video for ZFS Boot that can be seen on John Weeks' ustream account: (first 10 minutes have some white noise in the audio) http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/563014 I would also like the let folks know about some dates coming up. The August meeting will be moved up to PenLUG in Redwood City, please join along in meeing with PenLUG. This will be on the same night SVOSUG normally meets on, 4th Thurs., or August 28th. http://www.penlug.org/twiki/bin/view/Home/MeetingAgenda20080828 Sept. 3rd, James Gosling is speaking at the Silicon Valley Linux User's Group. Here's a good chance to hear James speak at a small local venue. http://www.svlug.org/meetings.php Sept. SVOSUG meeting will be back at the Mansion, and I have a tentative speaker but don't have it confirmed yet. Stay tuned for this announcement soon. Oct. SVOSUG meeting is being planned as a Arduino build-a-thon. The parts to build an Arduino are only about $10-$15. We need to have a cross compiler for OpenSolaris (gcc-avr) to support the Arduino, which is a full open hardware and software platform to develop on. John Plocher recently wrote a couple snazzy programs on the Arduino, one uses 2 servos with a web cam to allow panning of the webcam with 2 potentiometers. This was done with about 25 lines of c code, compiled and uploaded to the Arduino. He also wrote a musical type program. Yes, John has discovered the Arudino...and so can you...stay tuned for more info, we'll help you build one for youself out of parts. This will be based on the Freeduino, bare bones board. We will be inviting the local LUGs and BayLISA to join us. http://www.moderndevice.com/ Have a nice summer break, I'm hoping for one myself. -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 IHV/OEM Group _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
