From Eric.Boutilier at Sun.COM Tue Apr 11 08:54:44 2006 From: Eric.Boutilier at Sun.COM (Eric Boutilier) Date: Tue, 11 Apr 2006 10:54:44 -0500 (CDT) Subject: [ug-discuss] Informal GLUG (Chicago) meeting tonight Message-ID: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 13:32:58 -0500 From: Chip Bennett To: ug-glug-announce at opensolaris.org Subject: Location for April 11 Meeting of OS_GLUG Fellow GLUG'ers, We've decided to make this month's meeting a little less formal (as if we were formal before). We're going to meet tomorrow night (April 11) at 7PM, at the Famous Dave's Barbecue in Addison. They've got several small dining rooms, and they're going to set us up in one of them. There'll be no formal presentations: just talk about OpenSolaris and make future plans for the group. The speaker for this month's Sun Breakfast meeting (Linda Kateley) is planning on attending, so I'm sure she won't mind if you pick her brain some more on this month's topic. We'll just order off the menu. (I wouldn't count on Sun picking up the tab this time. :-) ) Of course, if you'd rather not eat, that's OK too. I've told them to expect about a dozen. They're going to set up a Captain's table, so we can all see each other. I'd appreciate it if you'd RSVP by replying to this E-mail. (just to me is fine) If the count is going to be significantly different, they'd like to know that. At the same time, if you fail to RSVP, but decide to drop by at the last minute, feel free. The other things we've tossed around that need further discussion are: 1. What format future meetings should take. (presentations, restaurants, universities, installation party, etc) 2. A Solaris project for the Chicago area that GLUG can make their own. 3. Someone to manage the web site. and anything else you want to talk about. The address is: 1631 West Lake Street (US 20) Addison, IL 60101 Here's a link to a map. Note that it's pretty close to 290 and 355. http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?BFCat=&Pyt=Tmap&newFL=Use+Address+Below&addr=1631+West+Lake+Street&csz=Addison%2C+IL&country=us&Get%A0Map=Get+Map OK, to re-state, that's tomorrow night, Tuesday April 11, 7 PM, at Famous Dave's Barbecue in Addison. Thanks everyone, for your support, and I hope to see you tomorrow night.

I believe we are planning a notice in the newsletter, but there's a few more things we could do on the site itself if you could put together some OpenSolaris content of interest to administrators. For instance.... - Instructions for installing OpenSolaris on SPARC, Intel, and Mac - A list of the different distributions and where to get them - How to run OpenSolaris securely - etc We focus on helping admins adopt, deploy, and maintain their products, so if you have content that fits those guidelines, we'd love to publish it. You can use that content to drive more administrators to your site. One caveat: we've been pretty busy lately, so we'd need the content right away to be ready in June.
