Alcides Maya's meeting
Today I have a meeting with some teacher of Alcides Maya's school to explain the Open Source initiative's of sun. Te attenders, teachers in general made some interesting and relevant questions about the installation and the tools of OpenSolaris. The funniest, in this case, was when I explained that the SXDE comes with everything (Netbeans, PostgreSQL, Sun Studio and anothers) built-in, everybody was surprised.
After my small talk, available here, some teacher talk about the difficult to find good java's programmer and java's teacher. It's what I want to listen! So I can explain the initiative of Sun's training. And one more time, the guys was surprised a lot 
After 1 hour, the meeting finished with some good conclusions. Now it's time to send this information to my manager and maybe done some business. Very good!

OpenSolaris preview
Everybody was waiting for the Indiana that will launch in May 5. Until this day we have the RC to test the new features and saw the look and feel of the system. Today I read the instructions of Rafael Vanoni and try to use this preview in a USB stick.
First I download the iso image in a torrent file, and here I just impressed because there are a lot of seeders on the net. So it's too fast download the file. Donwload files in torrent it's simple ok, I know. My problems started when I try to burn the image in my USB stick. I have this error:
bash-3.2$ distro_constructor/tools/usbgen 0805rc2a.iso usb.iso /tmp/
distro_constructor/tools/usbgen: line 43: lofiadm: command not found
I simple talk with my mentor and he said: "look your path"
My path are ok, but if I navigate until the directory and run ./usbgen the command running without problems. Sometimes I don't have the answers...
After that I boot the new OpenSolaris or Indiana (choose your name), and I really like that I saw. The look of the system are very, very cool. The default username used is "jack", the name of OpenSolaris mascot. But in Brazil it's difficult to find a guy to know who is jack The best tool in my opinion is the "Device Driver Utility". Actually we heard a lot of people how said that OpenSolaris have problems with device driver. I guess this problem was solved with this utility.
So... let's waiting for the May 5.

Summary of fisl and OpenSolaris Day
After almost a week in events talking about OpenSolaris, Open Source and things related it's very strange when everything over, the people go to our home and you are alone again.

OpenSolaris Day, event comming....
I never imagine... but organize a event it's too hard. You need think in everything, just everything. At begin a lot of guys said to you "great, I will help you in this task" and when you call to us, just one or two answer your invite and help you. But ok, let's keep moving.
The OpenSolaris Day it's a event at Porto Alegre one day before the Free Software Forum, called fisl. The idea it's to talk about the system and their features for the communities, students and people in general. The event will happen at sindibancarios's auditorium in April 16. The event has the cooperation of the SOUJava, Free Software Association and the Sun Microsystems. And th event was organized by Porto Alegre OpenSolaris Users Group.

iwk wifi driver
In the begin of this week I was looking for drivers on the laptop`s communities of OpenSolaris and there are something new there. There are 2 new drivers for wireless hardware, for intel 4965 AGN and for Ralink RT2500USB, avaliable in http://opensolaris.org/os/community/laptop/wireless/iwk. Coincidence or not, my hp dv2660 have a intel 4965 AGN hardware, and I don`t have driver for the wireless and don`t have driver too for may wired`s network. So yesterday I try this new driver... It`s really incredible, I just fooling the steps that was describe on the site and eveything was working!
I just don`t know why I need login with the wireless switched in off, for then turn the wireless on. If I login on the system with the wireless switched on the xorg simply dosen`t work. But, ok now almost everything was working. I`m keep wanted a sound driver.

Travel to São Paulo #2
This post can be started with the story of how we finish last day... Well I'm goingo to my hotel sleep between 4:00am and 4:30am of Tuesday. Another thing to do beside to record the video is to help Bruno with a puppet's video. This video explain in a funny way the technologies of Sun and OpenSolaris (like ZFS, Dtrace, Open groock and so on). In my opinion the puppet's hsow it's hardest to do. And this explain a little the time we finish the job.
When I woke up I'm going to Sun's office and read my e-mail and start another day. But.. when I'm entry in the room where we leave our things last night I don't see a notebook of a guy of Sun was loan. I search in all parts of room and nothing about the laptop. At this moment I entry in panic and call the security to explain what happen, but Eduardo told me that the notebook was delivered to your owner earlie in the morning. It's just a big scare.
After that I finish some jobs that are pending form last day and record some audio from the zfs video. Also I done some exercise of zfs with pen-drive, like this video
After everything that, I'm going to airport and take a flight to comeback to Porto Alegre. It was just 2 days of work with the guys on the Sun's office. And after all I think that it's very cool when you work with something you like, something you believe. Because when this happen you don't work, you are just being in fun.
