Last Thursday, March 20th, Porto Alegre OpenSolaris User Group had its monthly meeting at CESUP (Yes! Now we have a good place for our meetings!).
We discussed about our future meetings, how they will be performed, how to manage our group website and materials avaliable on it. Also, we talked about two great events that will take place at Porto Alegre in the next month. On April 16th, we will have OpenSolaris Day and on April 17, 18 and 19th, FISL 9.0. Like last year, our user group will participate and interact with the open source community and everyone interested to learn about opensolaris. If you have the oportunity, come to visit us.
We also decided to (whenever possible) give one gift for a group member who provided a good contribution to the group. And this month the elected one was Marcelo Leal. We gave him a Solaris t-shirt, take a look at the photo:
Marcelo Leal and his new "Solaris Rocks" t-shirt.
For the grand finale, here is a picture of the group members that could attend our meeting:
Vitório, Glaucio, Stephania, Ronaldo and Marcelo Leal in the front.
We also had two participants using skype, Rafael Vanoni (from
Dublin!) and Lucas Torri (from Florianópolis). They are in the photo too, at the first computer, but we forgot to turn the monitor :-)
Thanks folks, until next meeting!

Wanting to learn about Solaris and OpenSolaris? The Tech Outreach team at Sun has created a great new Solaris online training course entitled, Introduction to Solaris and opensolaris.org.
The course covers an introduction to opensolaris, Java Desktop System, Service Management Framework, Solaris Containers, ZFS and DTrace. I believe that with this course you can have an good idea of what Solaris can offers to improve your computing experience.
The course is located at: http://sunstudentcourses.com
