[ug-discuss] Atlanta OpenSolaris Meeting Report

[Scott Dickson - Systems Engineer]

The Atlanta OpenSolaris User Group met last night and had a very good 
meeting.  We had about 15 people in attendance and a lot of good 
interaction.

This meeting, to me, is what a user group is about.  Rather than having 
lots of presentations and one-way communications, we had a wide ranging 
discussion about DTrace and how various people were using it.  George 
Wilson and Alok Aggarwal both talked about how they use DTrace, along 
with other tools, as they develop new features and fix old ones in 
OpenSolaris.

Also on the list of topics for round-table discussion were a number of 
the recent putbacks in Nevada and how cool they were.  And we had a good 
discussion around how to find information about Solaris & OpenSolaris 
for someone just coming to the world of Unix system administration from 
another platform.

Lots of good discussion.

Looking forward to our next meeting on Sept. 12, 7PM.  Ryan Matteson 
will share with us about the DTrace Toolkit.
