Second OSUG meeting announced!
Below is part of the e-mail I sent out to the current members of the SDU OSUG, which announces the second SDU OSUG meeting.
... I have scheduled a meeting for our OSUG for May 14th at 16:00 in the seminarrum (again), so put that in the calendar! I don't know how long it will last, but my guess is that it will be around an hour.
The agenda is yet to be decided - at this point it is hard to find out, as I have no idea of how many people have gotten OpenSolaris up and running. But we will focus on trying to find out what projects we should get involved in. As mentioned in newsletter #1, if you can't install it on its own partition, try a VM solution - the most important thing is that you have OpenSolaris installed, so we can explore it!
I urge you all to keep spreading the word to people about the OSUG, as I will not be advertising this meeting publicly. If you know anybody who are interested, bring them along! They don't even have to attend the university. The more people we are, the more we can develop etc. ;-) ...
My suggestion for an SDU OSUG project was to build an API from Java to DTrace, but Googling aroung a bit has revealed that Sun has beaten me to that idea, as it is already available in the Solaris we have installed :-)
I still believe that a combination of Java and DTrace is a good path to choose for our OSUG, but as mentioned, this is up for discussion at the next meeting. Maybe a combination of reflection, DTrace and some GUI could be used to profile programs and suggest optimization tips? Please mail me (or comment on this blog) if you come up with any good ideas!
See you on the 14th!
