Tuesday December 16, 2008 New OpenSolaris Munich User Group
Munich is one of the IT centers of Germany. Some would say, the IT center in Germany. Most popular IT and media companies are based here, including Sun Germany, and of course Bavaria has the reputation of being an important technology powerhouse for Germany, between Laptops and Lederhosen.
It was about time that a Munich OpenSolaris User Group be created, which Wolfgang and I just did.
So, if you love OpenSolaris and happen to be near Munich, welcome to the Munich Open Solaris User Group (MUCOSUG). Feel free to visit our project page, subscribe to the mailing list, watch our announcements or participate in our events.
As you can see above, we already have a logo. It shows a silhouette of the Frauenkirche church, which is a signature landmark of downtown Munich, with the Olympiaturm tower in the background. This is meant to symbolize the old and new features of Solaris, but let's not get too sentimental here... Let us know if you like it, or provide your own proposal for a better logo, this is not set in stone yet.
Our first meeting will be on January 12th, 2009, 7-11 PM (19:00-23:00) at the Sun Munich office near Munich, Germany. Check out some more information about this event, we're looking forward to meeting you!
"New OpenSolaris Munich User Group" has been brought to you by Constantin's Blooog.

"mucosug" sounds like a really severe disease. ;-) SCNR!

Hi dyfa,
yes, you're right :). Sounds like a medicine against the cold or something :).
But we're just following the current established nomenclature scheme so MUCOSUG is the best we have at the moment...
Of course, after we have critical mass and after we've gone through some meetings etc., we can always find a better name.
Cheers,
Constantin
