Tuesday April 26, 2005 History in the Making - First OpenSolaris User Group
History in the making - the First OpenSolaris User Group will meet this evening Tue, April 26th at 7:30pm PST in Santa Clara, California in the upstairs room of the SCA03 "Auditorium" building on the Sun Santa Clara (Agnews) Campus.
Alan DuBoff is pulling it all together and is quite excited about it. If you've ever met Alan, well, you know that when he's passionate, his emotions just bubble over. In a good way.
Liane Praza will be the first guest speaker. Liane is smart, funny, an amazing engineer and (to draw a picture) has a penchant for colorful hair dye. I had the pleasure of being on Liane's management team for almost 5 years and I'd recruit her again in a heartbeat. (But I don't need to right now, obviously.) Liane will be talking about Solaris 10's new Service Management Facility aka SMF. Good stuff.
Bonus - Jan Setje-Eilers will also give a short demo of the New Boot Architecture for Solaris on x86/x64. Check it out!
Directions, map, and information about SWAG are all available on Alan's blog.
Oh, and of course, this is not the only OpenSolaris User Group - others are in the planning in other locations and geos. Stay tuned for more. (And no, I don't expect to be the fountain of future OpenSolaris User Group info. I'm just putting in a plug since Jim Grisanzio, the OpenSolaris community manager, if off getting ready to have a baby. Good luck to Jim and his lovely wife!)
I'm a big fan of Google maps, not just for technical reasons, but more for how Google has enabled us to answer new types of questions - such as "where are all the preschools in menlo park?" Good stuff.
So, drumroll please, here's a link to the Google map for the Santa Clara SC03 Auditorium for tonight's User Group. Come join the engineers!
