Take a look at the videos from the Silicon Valley user group:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/svosug/

I've also posted some pics of this group so you can see some faces:

You're in a high tech area, so I'm sure there'll be some interest. Make 
some noise, so I can point to it. If you have a blog, let us know. Put 
some stuff on your page and I'll point it as well.

I agree. Part of this community's purpose is to start making the 
connections between the user groups and Sun so everyone mixes freely. 
So, for instance, as we have people traveling we should ping this list 
so that in case there's a meeting going on people can stop by. Even just 
to meet some members of a user group if there's no meeting scheduled.

I know Laura Ramsey has some good suggestions from the OpenSolaris 
marketing community. I'll dig that mail out and respond to it ... for 
some reason I don't see it in the archives.
