Yes, that's fine. Your summary for the newsletter (just a few sentences, actually) should be in English, but it's fine to point to more content that is in Japanese. That would be great, actually. Also, if you and your audience wouldn't mind, we'd all appreciate it if there were some pictures, too. :) It's up to you guys. If it's appropriate, it would be most welcome. Also, we'd love it if we can post any materials that are presented here: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/os-presentations/ Tim is doing an amazing job of collecting presentations from the various user groups, and that page is starting to really be impressive. You are more than welcome to have the materials from your two meetings as part of that page.

This one took place, thanks to Darren Young, at The University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business. The speakers, again, were excellent. Russell Rezaian of Motorola -- who will be leading us on a guided, and hands-on tour of SMF and FMA over the next several sessions -- gave a great, compact, (read, teaser) introduction to SMF, which was followed by Sun engineer, Jim Fiori's equally engaging DTrace deep-dive.

Each user group accesses speakers in their area, or once in a while one of our lead developers will be on the road and can stop in to present. Some user groups have linked their meetings to Solaris Day or other field events in their area so they can pick up speakers from those agendas. This is where the presentation library on the user group page comes in handy. > > How are you getting engineering resources to present and who's > sponsoring travel expenses for speakers? Occasionally engineers are able to come out to make presentations--and the travel expenses are usually covered by the engineering group, and other times by the field marketing groups in the area. We don't have a fund for travel or speaker support at this time so each case is different. For the most part, we try to inform local user groups whenever we know an engineer or sun exec will be in the area so a user group can schedule a meeting in the same timeframe. > > > We would like to hear about any lessons learned?

Who are you targeting? > Are you focused on students, developers, professionals, etc... Who? Students and developers seem to have the most interest in OpenSolaris user group topics. Many groups have solaris system admins in addition to developers. Average attendance is right around 20--but if it's less, don't be discouraged. Some months you'll have large attendance, and other months you'll have the "core members". This is typical. > > > Any tips on housekeeping or management? This is just barely the beginning. The best way to go is to : 1--Have an active user group page. Keep blogs flowing, and link into the announcements whenever you can. 2--Check in with the local field marketing office and see what activities they have planned that might bring in more experts into the area--and schedule meetings to leverage those events. 3--Touch base with local Linux, Sun or Java user groups and see if there is any interest/synergies between the groups. > > > Appreciate all your time and help in getting us started. send along your user IDs and what you'd like to name the group and we'll get you started in style!

The best thing to do with photos is put them on Flickr and tag them "opensolaris" or put them on your blog and then just send a link to the list. Tim will put the photos link in with the section on the SIGCSE presos.

On March 11 (yes on Saturday) we had an all day event -- CZOSUG BootCamp. The BootCamp had two main themes -- OpenSolaris / Solaris installation and administration and Device Drivers development. The event was held at premises of Faculty of Mathematics and Physics, Charles University in Prague at Mala Strana. The main speaker was Martin Cerveny (coordinator of CZOSUG) -- he covered both the initial Solaris installation and administration topic as well as the device drivers development. Vita Batrla from OP/N1 RPE team in Prague presented about driver for CDMA modem developed using ugen driver and Milan Jurik (also OP/N1 RPE) presented a few slides about USB in general. In parallel with the presentation track people from OPG (Operating Platforms Group) in Prague prepared and run OpenSolaris Install-fest. The lecture room at Charles University had its own network, so we could "steel" it and put there Solaris install server. At the end seven people tried to install Solaris and five succeeded. Vlada Kotal (OP/N1 RPE) run very practical presentation about the installation and post-installation steps while other people from OPG helped the attendees with the actual installation.

From Scott.Dickson at Sun.COM Tue Mar 28 10:59:02 2006 From: Scott.Dickson at Sun.COM (Scott Dickson - Systems Engineer) Date: Tue, 28 Mar 2006 13:59:02 -0500 Subject: [ug-discuss] Delayed report - ATLOSUG - March 14 Message-ID: <44298776.2060407@Sun.COM> A bit delayed, here's a brief report from the recent ATLOSUG meeting. This was the first meeting of the Atlanta OpenSolaris User Group in its new location. We opted to move to the Sun office due primarily to cost, but also location. There is no good location in Atlanta for everyone. But, we had standing room only, with over 35 people in attendance, some driving from Augusta, Ga, some 150 miles away. George Wilson gave a *great* presentation, complete with demos, of ZFS. Q&A went on more than 30 minutes after our scheduled stop time. Seems to be a lot of interest in the topic. The next meeting is scheduled for May 9, in the Alpharetta Sun office. Topic for the next meeting will be BrandZ. Also scheduled for the next meeting is a shift from bi-monthly to monthly meetings. We feel like the extra work to support monthly meetings will be worth it in the added momentum and interest. --SCott
