I thought it was interesting that the "official" reminder 
included:

-----
Don't miss this opportunity to receive direct access to a 
panel of Sun experts: Jim Grisanzio, Cliff Allen, Rich Teer, 
Al Hooper, Dan Price, and Liane Praza.
-----

I'm not sure that Al will appreciate this ;-)

Subject: [ug-discuss] FROSUG February meeting announcement
Message-ID: <08815510-604B-4246-B518-F57B649BC640@Sun.COM>

The previous meeting of FROSUG involving ZFS was a great success.   
Thank you
to all who attended!

We would like to invite you to the next FROSUG meeting, which will  
feature Bill
Kucharski presenting BrandZ.  BrandZ is a framework that extends the  
Solaris
Zones infrastructure (see http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zones/)  
to create
Branded Zones, which are zones that contain non-native operating  
environments.
The term "non-native" is intentionally vague, as the infrastructure  
allows for
the creation of a wide range of operating environments.

Each operating environment is provided by a brand that plugs into the  
BrandZ
framework. A brand may be as simple as an environment with the  
standard Solaris
utilities replaced by their GNU equivalents, or as complex as a  
complete Linux
userspace.

Read more about BrandZ at their community page:

http://opensolaris.org/os/community/brandz/

Bill Kucharski has been working at Sun Microsystems since 2000.  He  
has worked
in the UNIX kernel for over 17 years for companies like Amdahl,  
Solbourne and
Bell Labs, mostly in the areas of VM and boot.  Prior to BrandZ, he  
was a core
member of the team that ported Solaris to amd64 and before that was  
responsible
for bringing up the Solaris kernel on UltraSPARC V. He's also  
currently an
OpenSolaris community leader for both BrandZ and the effort to port  
Solaris to
PowerPC.

Here are details about the meeting:

Where: Sun Broomfield campus, Conference Center #1 & #2 / Bldg #1
Address: 500 Eldorado Blvd.
Broomfield, CO 80021
Date: Thursday, February 23, 2006
Agenda:
6:15pm - 6:30pm: Once again, we will be providing pizza and soft drinks!
6:30pm - 8:30pm: BrandZ

Please RSVP by sending your first and last name to
frosug-rsvp(AT)opensolaris(DOT)org by February 22nd. This will help  
us know how
much food to get and allow us to make badges in advance.

- Sam

I've put up slides and recorded a sound track to go with them. The

No problem whatsoever - the extra mp3 is excellent, many thanks for
going to the extra trouble to record it!

oops sorry, meant to Cc: ug-discuss on this one too..

I've since added some videos that Alan pointed me at from the SOSUG to
the Oct 17th 2005 entry too, which are well worth checking out (although
vlc on Solaris from blastwave is giving me the audio only, but that's
alright for me))

Thanks all for the links - keep 'em coming (might try to contribute a
talk myself in the not-too-far-distant future)

	cheers,

We had our February meeting Tuesday night. Here's a report:

    
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/eric_boutilier?entry=last_night_s_opensolaris_user

Alec -- we decided to defer discussing the web site in favor of  
discussing it online (this mail-list) instead.

All -- David Braun had a good suggestion to start a special moderated 
announce mail-list. That way people will know that when a message is 
posted to the announce list it's important to read it right away (as 
opposed to general discussion). I'll get that going soon.

As we mentioned previously, the next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday 
evening March 7th. It's pretty firm but not 100% official yet. Planned 
speakers are Sun DTrace guy, Jim Fiori, and "Motorola/SMF/FMA guy" 
Russell Rezaian.

Where do you guys want to have the meeting? Should we try downtown this 
time? Or does that matter? The main problem with downtown is somebody 
with connections to a meeting room would have to step up. Anyone? UIC? 
Depaul? Other?

If we want to meet in the 'burbs again, Chip says his employer is O.K. 
with us meeting there again (Laurus Technologies in Itasca near Rohlwing 
and Irving Park Rd.)

Subject: [ug-discuss] User Group Leaders: Please Check List
Message-ID: <43FE3764.8020303@sun.com>

Hi ...

I'm trying to build out a page listing all of the user groups associated 
with their leaders (the people who led the creation of the groups in the 
first place). This list below is what I have so far. Is it accurate?

Some groups were created by Sun community members and some were created 
by non-Sun community members (and I think there's a nice mix of both, 
which is great). I collected the names from the people who I directly 
interacted with to set up many of the pages/lists, but I'm not sure 
about Rio de Janeiro (#19). Either I can't find the record or someone 
else set them up. A check on that one would be great. I don't want to 
leave anyone out, so if you can check my accuracy where your group 
appears, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

Jim

Subject: [ug-discuss] Presentation materials
Message-ID: <20060224180138.GC12988@sun.com>

I've recently given a presentation at NIT Warangal's Technozion '06.
The slide deck is 275k so I'm not going to send it to a mailing list,
but perhaps the people interested in updating
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/os-presentations/
could contact me privately so I can send them on.

This talk is targeted at people who are:

(1) aware of the OpenSolaris program,

(2) have little or no knowledge of the technical organisation of
Solaris and OpenSolaris, and

(3) are interested in contributing to ON.

The original request was for a preso on "building OpenSolaris" but
since the request itself implies a misunderstanding, I renamed it
"OpenSolaris for Contributors" and spent the first several slides
explaining the organisation of OpenSolaris and its relationship to
Solaris.  I then go on to describe the construction of ON and the
tools available to ON engineers.  Because this is a topic both broad
and deep, the 28-slide deck contains only high-level information and
relies on many references to provide greater detail.  The talk takes
60-90 minutes to give, plus Q&A and an optional demo.  It would be
reasonable to give this talk in a 90-minute or 2-hour slot, or to
expand it by incorporating more material from the references,
especially on ON organisation, and give it as a 3- or 4-hour tutorial.
If you give this talk in a 60-minute slot, you will need to cut it
down.

together that make the whole.

I put up a little Leader Page so we can easily see who's leading what 
out there.

Jim,

Can you add Phillip Russell for SVOSUG? Flip actually has been involved in the 
group since the very first meeting, and has done a lot of the thankless job 
of providing beverages/snacks to the user group.

He's been a great help, and supporter of our group!

Sure ... happy to. But Flip's name seems to already be there ... :)

Subject: [ug-discuss] Google Maps for OpenSolaris User Groups
Message-ID: <4403A1EF.6020907@sun.com>

Dan Price made this handy map for the user group community:

    http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/map/

I was able to add two links, but I'm discovering that finding stuff on 
Google Maps without good data or data that is in multiple languages is 
sometimes difficult. Anyway, I'll keep trying to add links. Send your 
meeting locations if you can, and we'll see if we can get all the groups 
up on this page.

Jim

(Note: I sent this mail via the forums on Friday, but it didn't go 
through, it seems.)

Ooops, replying to all...I had put Flip there as I didn't realize we had 
ability to do that.

Anyway, he is on there as you note. And he has has been a great help in all of 
this and getting things worked out, as well as representing Matt Thompson's 
area.
