By the end of this, I should know something about ZFS

After a couple of years of offering to speak locally about OpenSolaris/Solaris but having no takers, I am now signed up to give a bunch of talks. To avoid strains on my brain, I am keeping the topic to ZFS.

On February 27, I will be giving a talk at the monthly meeting of the Puget Sound Network Users Group. This is going to be in Bellevue, WA and my talk should start around 6:30pm. PSNUG has asked me to speak for a couple of hours and I will probably start with an introduction to OpenSolaris.

On March 6, I will be back out at Washington State University to give the ZFS talk that I was supposed to give on February 7. (I had the flu on the 7th and didn't want to give it everyone on the plane.) This will be a one hour talk with demos.

I have been asked to give a similar ZFS talk for the Tri-Cities Linux Users Group in the Tri-Cities on March 8. I have not yet committed to being there, but I probably will go.

I didn't know a lot about ZFS before I started doing these talks, but I know a lot more now!

This does confuse things a bit for the next Puget Sound OpenSolaris Users Group meeting. It should have been in January, but I delayed it to February because of the Pullman talks. Now, with the end of February, beginning of March activity, the PSOSUG meeting will be delayed until March, I guess. And what will the presentation be on? I am sure that I am gonna be sick of talking about ZFS.
