ZFS and SunSPOTs on Fiberparty 2k8
Fiberparty is a computer party organised by people on our faculty on a yearly basis.
As there are several talks on this I proposed a couple of them: (see ZFS and SunSPOTs listed there).
I used the slides from Eric Kustarz which were very useful. I also explained some personal experiences as a UNIX sysadmin regarding filesystems (LVM+RAID) while introducing the ease and convenience of ZFS operation. People were specially interested and asked a few questions about snapshots and clones.
The few ones who attended to sun spot technology techtalk were really interested on this tech, they were specially curious about the accelerometer integrated on the eDEMO board.
At the end I gave them sun T-shirts for the best SunSPOT ideas (I did a little brainstorming session), and the winner was:
"Using SunSPOTs for fluid dynamics study"
Just imagine the following scenario: several SunSPOTs enclosed on a hermetic enclosures transmitting seawave parameters via 802.15.4 integrated radio, which means: realtime sea status, cool, isn't it ? :)
Last but not least, the organization (fiberparty crew) did their best to announce the event broadcasting it on the event's radio (ART radio), kudos to you people !
