rv's techblog: some kind of blog

Last Thursday I gave a talk about the kernel at my university, about 20 people showed up.
I talked about the scheduler, dispatcher and virtual memory. I'm still working on the slide deck, it's an overview of those systems with some of the structures that represent things like processes, threads, cpus.

I'm trying to show it's not such a 'black box' - like some people might think - by pointing out how some things are implemented. My idea is to get more people interested in contributing to the project. Check out the slides and send me some feedback. I'm all in favor of improving it so any comment is appreciated.
You can get the BR-Portuguese version at our OSUGs website.

Here are some photos..

Then yesterday (Saturday) I gave pretty much the same talk at a kick ass event organized by the TcheLinux user group. I'm really glad those guys invited us there. It's just amazing to see a positive and open attitude towards technology, specifically open source technology. More pictures..

I'll tell you this, with the great work they are doing, I won't be surprised to see their events grow to national or even international size. We had a blast. I hope everyone who attended our talks left feeling they didn't wake up early on Sat for nothing.

We handed out around 30 'Intro to OSs with OpenSolaris' books and SXDE DVDs between the two events. Good to see our OSUG growing.
