[ug-discuss] [Reminder] Sydney Open Solaris User Group meeting tonight

[Alan Hargreaves]

We will be holding the fourth meeting of the Sydney Open Solaris User
group Tonight.

Date: Monday, October 17
Time: 6:30pm
Location: iForce Centre. Ground floor 33 Berry St, North Sydney

Speakers
--------

Bryan Cantrill - Bryan is in Australia this week to (amongst other
         things) present a tutorial and plenary at AUUG and do some
         customer visits. He will also present at SOSUG.

         Bryan is a senior staff engineer with the Solaris Kernel group
         and was recently recognised as one of the top innovators under
         35 years of age.

James McPherson - James recently gave a customer presentation on ZFS
         and has agreed to give the presentation to this group. I've not
         seen the presentation, but from all accounts it went very well
         when he first gave it. James has been "playing" with ZFS for
         quite some time, particularly with a focus on usability and
         folks simply doing silly things with it to see how it holds
         up.

         James currently works in the Leadville driver group.


Notes
-----

There is a rather large internal meeting preceeding us in that
conference room with some international visitors (maybe some will hang
around); so I've had to move the start time to 6:30. It may also be a
little congested around our start time.

The security and safety folks have asked me to ensure that people
visiting the iForce Centre sign in when they arrive and sign out when
they leave. This is a safety issue so we know who is in the building.
The sign in book is at the front desk inside the glass doors.

The main doors lock at about 6:00pm, so we'll make sure that we have
someone near them to allow entry to the building.

I am assured taht there will be food/drink provided.

=====
I have also been asked to let folks know that there are still places in 
available in the Tutorial that Bryan is running on Tuesday at the AUUG 
Conference. See http://www.auug.org.au for details.
