ARGH! I know, I know. Wrong date in the last email... Sorry for the noise.
Greetings all -
***NOTE: Different reply to address: nathan.kroenert at optusnet.com.au***
We are rapidly approaching the next meeting, which, as we usually
aim for, falls on the 3rd Wednesday of the month!
Last month: Patching and cluster and hardware, Oh My!
Special thanks to Dan for stepping up at the last second, and to Andre
for managing to make the meeting feel even more technical than usual,
with the careful and selective use of the odd 'technical term'.
This month, we have what looks to be a 'Dtrace by example' and Hardware
focussed month. We'll be looking at the new Nehalem servers offered by
Sun and what they mean to you, and Nathan's new Laptop... Also -
Unconfirmed, Arya with his ZFS and rsync stuff. :)
And possibly some I have forgotten. (Let me know if I forgot!!).
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 April the 15th, 2009 at 18:00 for general
discussion.
Speakers start at 18:30 sharp, with Pizza arriving somewhere around
20:00ish.
Speakers / Topics will be:
- Nathan and Andre: Dtrace examples: A review of what we have used
DTrace for recently
- Nathan: Sun's new Intel Nehalem Servers and Nathan's new laptop
(unrelated! ;)
Unconfirmed:

Soft drink, coffee/tea and Pizza will be available. (YES - FOOD.)
**If you plan to attend, please reply NOW to nathan at sun.com 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!
