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 some pictures from last nights FROSUG meeting. We celebrated the 2-year Anniversary of OpenSolaris by having some cake before the meeting presentation.
It was gooood cake...
After the festivities, Bonnie Corwin, the OpenSolaris Engineering Manager, presented "OpenSolaris: Still in a Storm". Who's title is borrowed from Jim Grisanzio's "OpenSolaris: in a Storm" presentation, which discussed how fast Sun and the OpenSolaris Engineering team moved to make OpenSolaris a reality. Bonnie indicated that her team is still moving fast. The presentation covered what the OpenSolaris Engineering Team does, gave an OpenSolaris Anniversary update (OpenSolaris at Two) and talked about where OpenSolaris is going in the future. The presentation slides along with a recording is posted at frosug.org. This was another great FROSUG presenation.
