Ground floor 33 Berry St, North Sydney See http://opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/sosug for a link to a map. Speakers First Birthday Party Food & Drink available, but please let Alan.Hargreaves at Sun.COM know if you are coming so we can have some idea of numbers. Alan Hargreaves Open Solaris: The road travelled so far and that to come Alan will give a brief overview of major events that occurred during the first year as well as having a look into what is still to come. Brendan Gregg The upcoming Solaris Internals Book. Brendan was kind of bumped in SOSUG #6 with a great (and long) talk by Jeff Bonwick and Bill Moore. We give him his chance to discuss the book this month. It's highly appropriate as it does get released this month. Brendan (one of the authors) will chat about the upcoming "Solaris Internals" 2nd edition, an awsome reference that contains many OpenSolaris and Solaris 10 specifics - including DTrace and mdb. He was able to contribute towards this edition, in particular writing material for the second volume (it is now 2 books). When Brendan is not teaching Solaris topics, he spends time playing with DTrace and the DTrace toolkit as well as dabbling in the games community. With a bit of prompting we may be able to get him to say something on those topics (informally of course). I'll also try to have copies of the video from last month's meeting available as well. OK a limited number. The dvd is about 3gb and runs a little over three hours Notes * The security and safety folks have asked me to ensure that people visiting the iForce Centre sign in when they arrive and sign out when they leave. This is a safety issue so we know who is in the building. The sign in book is at the front desk inside the glass doors. * The main doors lock at about 6:00pm, so we'll make sure that we have someone near them to allow entry to the building. -- Alan Hargreaves - http://blogs.sun.com/tpenta Staff Engineer (Kernel/VOSJEC/Performance) Product Technical Support (APAC) Sun Microsystems I went in the World's Greatest shave for Leukaemia.

In general, I think it might be good to try to always do one on the last Tuesday in every month in the future, which would make it easier to schedule things. Here are the details for the next meeting: Topic : DTrace Date : Tue 25th July Location: Sun Offices, East Point Business Park Time : 19:00 This month's main topic will be DTrace. Sean McGrath, an engineer in the Sun Ireland Performance Group will give us an introduction to the Dynamic Tracing facility in OpenSolaris and will also be doing some live demos for us. If you're doing *any* application development on *any* UNIX-like operating system, and that app can be compiled on OpenSolaris, then you really should come along - DTrace is well worth a few hours of your time (and it'll almost certainly pay back that time a thousand-fold once you learn how to use it!) Sean's asked that anyone who has applications which compile on OpenSolaris (x86 if possible) that they bring them along, and we'll have a look at any possible performance problems they might have: DTrace is best demoed on applications the audience is familiar with, so now's your chance - if a bit of software has been bugging you, and you're not sure what's wrong, DTrace can help. Examples could be: * a webserver with unexplained (performance) problems * you want to see what xmms is reall doing ? * how a shell script executes * why does my terminal-emulator take so long to scroll (the list is endless) We want your applications! As well as that, I'll try to do a quick run-down of OpenSolaris-related things that have happened since our last meeting. Regarding the location, that's still a bit up in the air - if the East Point venue suits everyone, then it's easy enough for us to reserve rooms here, with projectors, internet connections, etc. but if people think that's too inconvenient, other suggestions as to venues would be welcome (esp. ones near pubs that stay open past 8pm (I'm looking at you, East Point Bar!)) Finally, I'm Bcc:ing a few people who I think may also be interested, but may not yet have signed up for the Yahoo! account in order to get to our mailing list. Sarunas mentioned at the last meeting that having an @opensolaris.org mailing list might be a bit more convenient, so if everyone agrees with moving the mailing list, then we'll try to get that setup as well: just let us know. Thoughts and comments are welcome, and otherwise, see you on July 25th!

Hello, Roberto. Congratulations! Do you have a web page and mail list we can link to or would you like some web space on the user group community http://opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/ and an opensolaris.org mail list? Here are the steps: * Send us your opensolaris.org user name (off list) so we can make you an editor in the community so you can work on your page. * After you have some basic content on your page, we'll make it live. At that point you can make an announcement to the announce list and it will go on the front page of OpenSolaris as well. This is optional, of course. * If you want an opensolaris.org mail list for your group, contact Eric Boutilier and he can set that up for you and you'll be the admin for that list. * Consider a name for your group. Italy is a pretty big place. Do you want to narrow it down to a city or a region or even use another name? Sometimes people use unique geographic features as a name. It's your choice. We just want to leave room for growth for other groups. That should get you started.
