[SVOSUG] Desktop Update - Thurs. August 23rd SCA03 7:30pm

It's that time of month for the SVOSUG meeting again, and we have something a little different than our normal type meetings, and as of recent I've been getting requests to show compiz at the user group meeting and/or show it running on Solaris/OpenSolaris.

This month we'll be doing an presentation on the Desktop, where have we come from, what we have, and where will we go. To help in presenting that will be Alan Coopersmith (OGB) and Stuart Kreitman from the X team, with myself to possibly do some fill-in and/or show my laptop which is running build 70 with compiz. I will also show a brief demo of the Network Auto-Magic in action, hopefully we'll have active wifi as we have had.

Here's my desktop, running on a stock build 70 with Erwann's compiz install script package with extras, including the cool burning transition. Please try to install this to a recent build of Solaris Express and give it a go, let us know if you have any problems. 

This is my standard desktop, KDE 3.4.3 built and packaged by long time Solaris/OpenSolaris supporter, Stefan Teleman. The package are available for download from sunfreeware. I'm running compiz 0.5.0 with it. Works nicely.
