Hey, fellow Unix Lovers!
Last month, we went wild with Brendan Gregg and Greg Price of Fishworks
fame. They gave us a look into the minds of the Fishworks (Fully
Integrated Software Hardware) team and their goals and ideas when
designing the Sun Storage 7000 series of appliances.
It was cool - and even cooler to learn where they were using JavaScript
(including at their command prompt!!!).
This month, we'll be hitting some topics we have had a number of
requests around: Solaris Performance from the ground up (First in a
series all things being equal. :) and Nevada / Opensolaris putbacks.
(There has been some awesome stuff go back in the last few months...)
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 August the 19th, 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: Solaris Performance. We won't make you an
expert, but will start you down the road to understanding
Solaris performance. We are hoping to scaffold a little so
even if you think (or know!) that you don't know much about
performance, you should come along.
Expect the performance discussion to be lots of questions
and answers. And - possibly more questions. :)
- Boyd, Andre, and Nathan: Recent Nevada putbacks; what's interesting
and what do we want to talk about more?
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!
