Friday March 25, 2005 1st OpenSolaris User Group on April 26th, 2005
The 1st ever OpenSolaris User Group will meet on April 26th, 2005 at the Sun Santa Clara campus. This is not the permenant name to be used, and will most likely change, but I am using it for the time being. This meeting is open to all interested parties, internal and external to Sun. We will be using this event as a kick-off event for OpenSolaris user groups to start up around the globe, and Sun will be assisting folks in doing so. I don't know that OpenSolaris fits the user group best, but I want this to be a collaboration between Sun and the community, which OpenSolaris is. I expect that much discussion will take place around Solaris in general, but OpenSolaris depicts the overall theme for a user group I've been seeking to form.
I have taken on the task of forming the first user group in Silicon Valley, and will leverage the help of the community, as well as the resources from Solaris Engineering to provide speakers and swag for those who attend.
Our first meeting will be held on the 2nd floor of the Santa Clara Auditorium. Stay tuned for more information as I have more to share.
I am pleased to announce our 1st guest speaker for the event,Liane Praza, who will discuss the Service Management Frameworks. Liane is intimately familiar with the Service Management Frameworks and I am confident that she will make the 1st user group meeting worth your while to attend. And you never know, there could be prizes and gifts to those that attend as well.[wink]
There might also be a few other Solaris Engineers on hand to talk tech with those of you who do show up. As some of you know, we tend to travel in packs...Keep posted for more information as I gather it.
