[ug-discuss] Upper-Midwest (U.S.) OpenSolaris User Group inaugural meeting

[Eric Boutilier]

Attention fellow Illinois/Wisconsin/Indiana OpenSolaris people -- mark
your calendars for Thursday Oct 20th. Simon Phipps, Sun's Chief Open
Source Officer and OpenSolaris Board Member, will be in Chicago then,
so I took the opportunity to plan an inaugural Upper-Midwest (or
whatever we decide to call it) OpenSolaris User Group meeting. Simon
will do the keynote, and for a special bonus, Sun's Solaris Ambassador
(operating systems technical expert) for the upper-midwest area, Linda
Kateley agreed to do a talk on your favorite Solaris technology (ZFS
perhaps?)

The time/date/city is firm -- the evening of Oct 20th, in Chicago or
nearby; but we need to come up with a venue. Offers? Suggestions?  Yes,
I can probably get a conference room at the local Sun office, but maybe
a more casual, "non-commerically" setting would be better?

I'll add a page for this new group on the opensolaris.org UG community
area, but what should we call it? My two-cents: "Chicago OSUG" is too
narrow and "Upper-Midwest OSUG" is too broad...

Eric
