Greetings all -
We are rapidly approaching the next meeting, which, as we usually
aim for, falls on the 3rd Wednesday of the month!
By Crikey - if you missed last month, you missed a blinder... We had
Nathan and Boyd playing the fool and straight man (I'll leave you to
choose which was which) in some discussions around SPARC and X86
hardware and had a good look at using Dtrace for simple troubleshooting.
Boyd even recalled his previous command - using the up arrow...
This month, we have a bunch of possibles - to be confirmed with the
speakers. Currently looking like (In the order that folks told me they
would be interested):
- Andre: A controversial and mysterious topic
- Daniel Cook: Live Upgrade and Patching stuff
- Alan Chalmers: AI - Automated Opensolaris install
- Arya Abdian: ZFS and rsync for backup
- Greg Boug: VCS (Veritas Cluster)
And possibly some I have forgotten. (Let me know if I forgot!!).
**Speakers:** Please confirm if you can or cannot do this month. :)
Clearly, we won't get through all of these in one meeting - We'll move
them into next month. :)
Please respond in the positive OR negative ASAP so Pizza and Drinks can
be planned. :)
Where?
Level 7, 476 St Kilda Road, Melbourne,
When?
Wednesday March the 18th, 2009 at 18:00 for general

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 had a
great first meeting, and would love to continue to grow the group.
A note on access: The Lifts in the building and entrance to Level 7
automatically lock early in the evening, so access will be provided by
Sun 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!
