NOTE: Different date to usual - as there is clash with the Kernel
Conference in Brisbane, and I understand a number of folks won't be
available. So - we are running a week late.
Greetings all -
Last month: We missed out through sickness and absence of presenters. Boo.
But - fear not - We are back, bigger and better.
This month, we'll be hitting some interesting stuff like Solaris
Performance (with real life problem chasing), Nevada / Opensolaris
putbacks, and we *hope* to have a very special guest, though they are as
yet unconfirmed.
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 July the 22nd, 2009 at 18:00 for general
discussion.
Speakers start at 18:30 sharp, with Pizza arriving somewhere around
20:00ish.
Speakers / Topics will be:
- Andre and Nathan: Performance observation. We won't make you an
expert, but might help you understand some of what you (and we!)
don't know about performance, and give you a start in the right
direction.
- Andre, and Nathan: Recent Nevada putbacks; what's interesting
and what do we want to talk about more?
Unconfirmed:
- Special Guest: Their pet topic!
Soft drink, coffee/tea and Pizza will be available. (YES - FOOD.)
**If you plan to attend, please reply NOW to
nathan,kroenert at 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 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!
