Virtual Worlds at Sun: Imagine the Possibilities

There is a replay of the audio with slides of the recent Pro OpenSolaris Author Chat in Second Life.

Pro OpenSolaris was written to demonstrate that you can host your open source applications and solutions on OpenSolaris, taking advantage of its advanced features such as containers and other forms of virtualization, the ZFS file system, and DTrace. Spend an hour with author Harry Foxwell and learn more about the latest release - OpenSolaris 2009.06, and features such as Crossbow.

Harry Foxwell is a system engineer for Sun Microsystems Federal, Inc., specializing in operating system support (Solaris, OpenSolaris, and Linux). He is also an adjunct professor of computer science at George Mason University, where he has taught, among other classes, operating system courses based on OpenSolaris. He has also written several book reviews for ACM’s Computing Reviews.

Yesterday around 40 attendees came together in SecondLife to chat with Tim Cramer, Glynn Foster, David Comay and Stephen Hahn about OpenSolaris.  Attendees posed some great questions for the panel, and had an engaging conversation that could have continued all day.
