Moinak Ghosh presented the OpenSolaris Testing presentation at the Hyderabad Tech Days. Moinak is a great speaker and well know for his contributions to the BeleniX OpenSolaris distribution. I'm glad to get him to do the presentation.

Here's a blurb from Moinak:

"The presentation went well. I could manage the demos questions and all without exceeding the time limit. Murphy was not present in the room so I had zero problems with the demos :)

There were about 200 people in the room. I began my preso with questions like:

How many of you have seen or ever logged into a SPARC machine ?
A couple of hands.

How many have seen or logged into a 16-core 32G Opteron box ?
Just one hand raised.

How many would want access to such machines ?
All hands raised :)


So you need to become an OpenSolaris contributor and contribute fixes/enhancements ..."

Here's a picture of the FROSUG booth (thanks Bonnie) we staffed at the Project Blackbox tours in Broomfield on April 13th. We handed out SXDE DVDs and OpenSolaris Starter Kits and informed people about OpenSolaris and the FROSUG meetings. Members of the Front Range Open Solaris User Group were at the booth throughout the day. There was a lot of interest in the Blackbox and getting Solaris on laptops and desktops. It was cool having a laptop (thanks Lisa) with SXDE installed that people could play with.


Here's a picture of the Blackbox.
