Monday March 19, 2007 SVOSUG Network Auto-Magic - Thurs. Mar. 22nd, 7:30pm - SCA03
SVOSUG has what I consider a special meeting this month.
John Beck will be giving a presentation on his OpenSolaris project, Network Auto-Magic. You can read about this project on the OpenSolaris webpage.
The reason this is such a special meeting to me is that Solaris/OpenSolaris has been known for being a server product, and user applications have not been a primary focus. The Network Auto-Magic is to automate network configuration, something that is of need for mobile computers.
This project does represent a milestone event for OpenSolaris! It seems Sun dropped support for laptops in Solaris 8 on x86, the latest builds of Solaris/OpenSolaris do in fact run much better on laptops, and a lot of work has gone into the code to help out. The Network Auto-Magic project really does represent the evolution of Solaris/OpenSolaris as we are seeing it change and werever it will go.
This should prove to be a very interesting talk, please feel free to call-in if you're not in the area. I'm told the polycoms will be setup around the room. This will allow for a more interactive environment for the folks that call-in.
For those in need of something special, John likes plain M&Ms!
