[osol-mktg] JavaOne - Submitting a OpenSolaris session

[gns]

Hello,

I'd like to submit the below topic as a session for the OpenSolaris track at JavaOne:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Title   : Building and Deploying OpenSolaris
Speaker : Shivakumar GN

Abstract:
OpenSolaris gives one a wide range of choices with regard to installing new versions, and keeping up to date with the latest and greatest OpenSolaris bits.

In this session, I give a introduction to what OpenSolaris is about, the different consolidations available and what each of these have to offer, the collaboration mechansims available for managing the OpenSolaris based projects.
I then move on to discuss the mechanism to build the ON consolidation (the OpenSolaris bits) from *source* and the available mechanisms to deploy/upgrade using the built system.

I also look at the various OpenSolaris based distributions available today and what they have to offer to the end user. Finally no community presentation is complete without provide pointers for people interested in contributing and hence I close the session with details for the same.

Target Audience:
No prior know-how on OpenSolaris is assumed. Basic familiarity with any of the posix environments is expected.

Objectives:
- Introduce OpenSolaris project to the audience
- Familiarize the audience with the different source code consolidations available
- Familiarize the audience with the collaboration infrastructure available on opensolaris.org
- Provide steps to build the OpenSolaris bits (ON consolidation) and deploy the same
- Familiarize the audience with the different OpenSolaris base distributions that are available
- Get a small part of the audience interested enough to actually get into the contributing mode

Regarding myself:

I am member of the Bangalore OpenSolaris User Group.
I was one of the community speakers at the SUN Tech Days, Hyderabad, 2007 and delivered a session on "Building and Deploying OpenSolaris" that was well attended and well received.

My career spans over 7 years Siemens Communication Software, Bangalore. In the recent years I have been into Solaris platform based Network Element(Mobile Radio) development. My role spans Requirements Analysis, System Design & Architecture to testing and delivery of the product.
I have served some of the technical bodies of IEEE in variety of capacities. Teaching is my passion and I work with students teaching/mentoring them on FOSS based projects and work with academic institutions to help have FOSS based curriculum.
