Well, how about it?

Anyone here from that baltwash corridor who would be interested in  
such a group? I work at UMBC.edu just outside of Baltimore and as a  
result have access to lecture halls and the like. There are Sun  
offices in Columbia (MD) and Arlington (VA) as well.

Baltimore may be a bit of a drive for people in DC proper or northern  
Virginia, so perhaps meetings could alternate between the two  
geographic locales if a venue could be found around DC.

Hi all,

Czech OpenSolaris[1] User Group is proud to invite you for its eleventh
meeting (this time an all-day event), focused on operating systems
virtualization technologies, namely Xen[2] running on OpenSolaris.

During the seven presentations, tutorials, and discussion forums you 
will have a chance to get to know Xen, its features on supported 
platforms, and we will not miss examples and experience from real world 
usage.

This meeting is for developers, administrators, and last but not least 
for enthusiasts using Xen (or other virtualization technologies), 
looking forward to learn something new and share their experience with 
others. Hardware with preinstalled combinations of dom0/domU will be 
available for those who want to play, and a lot of skillful specialists 
will assist you with Xen installation on your own hardware.

We are proud to invite (among other experienced speakers) Michal 
?vamberg from the University of West Bohemia, one of the Unix admins, 
who spends a lot of time with Xen every day, and also Johannes 
Schindelin, one of the key developers and contributors of QEMU[3] project.

The meeting will take place from 10am, Saturday October 21st, at the FEL
?VUT, Prague 2, Karlovo N?m?st? 13, aula K1.

Invitation leaflet with full agenda is available in PDF format[4].

*Jay* ...

Ok, cool. User Group info below. We'll take the portal issue onto the 
other list.

I added you as a leader to the user group community:
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/
Leaders: http://opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/leaders/

That gives you edit rights to the pages in the ug community. Your Korea 
OpenSolaris User Group page is here:
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/kosug/
Please add some initial content so it's not empty for long.

If you have any questions about editing your page and adding content, 
see this: http://opensolaris.org/os/communities/lead_reference/
Or just ask any of us here or on ug-discuss.

Eric Boutilier will set up your mail list. After he does that, I'll add 
your group to the user group grid:
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/osug-leaders/
You'll be the 41st group. :)

Question: Will Seok Kim be involved in the user group or the portal? Or 
both?

*Eric* ... when you get a minute, please create a opensolaris.org Korea 
User Group mail list for Jay.

Thanks,

Jim

Subject: [ug-discuss] October FROSUG Meeting
Message-ID: <45391111.3010505@sun.com>

Hi all,

We will be holding the next FROSUG (Front Range OpenSolaris User Group) 
meeting on Tuesday, October 24, 2006.  Our presenter is Bill Knoche.  He 
will be speaking on the topic of "Porting Linux Applications to 
Solaris".  In addition to the main presentation, Jon Bowman will be 
giving the "OpenSolaris Update" - a short presentation about the latest 
happenings in OpenSolaris.  We hope to make the "OpenSolaris Update" a 
regular occurrence at the FROUSG meetings in order to help people stay 
up to date on what is happening in the OpenSolaris community.

Information about the "Porting Linux Applications to Solaris" 
presentation and our presenter:

This presentation will cover some of the features in Solaris 10 and 
beyond that make it easier to port applications to Solaris.   Along with 
that, Bill will cover the different aspects of application porting.  For 
example, how to determine the scope and do an analysis of the work, how 
to do the actual port and identify some of the issues (and their 
resolution) that one may run into, how to test the application and 
finally, how to support the work into the future.   Lastly, lets not 
forget that there are already a bunch of applications that already run 
on Solaris so... Bill will also cover the different resources that you 
can use in order to find open source applications that are already 
supported!

Bill Knoche has been with Sun for over 19 years.  He has worked in 
almost every business unit and in a wide range of roles.  Currently, he 
is a staff engineer in the I/O Technologies group in Market Development 
Engineering where they run a certification program called Solaris Ready 
which provides assistance to IHVs (Independent Hardware Vendors) with 
Solaris and Sun platforms.

-----

Meeting Details:

Topic: Porting Linux Applications to Solaris
Presenter: Bill Knoche
When: Tuesday, October 24, 2006
Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Where: Sun Broomfield Campus

Message-ID: <454203CB.3030901@sun.com>

Hi all,

[ presentations from the meeting are available at:
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/czosug/ ]

For those who haven't had a chance to participate in out eleventh CZOSUG
meeting, here is a short report of what happened.

We had around thirty people in the meeting room, approx. half of them
never visited any CZOSUG meeting, and more than half of them never
played with Xen.

Frank Hofmann from Sun started with very extensive talk about
virtualization technologies, he touched topics like LDOM, Zones, VMWare,
and outlined basic principles of Xen, funtionality of the hypervisor,
and virtualization of the access to the physical devices.

Jirka ?ervenka from Sun continued with the history of Xen development,
its versions and their features.

After the lunch, the show continued with very nice presentation of the
real usage of Xen at the Univeristy of West Bohemia, Pilsen. Michal
?vamberg described their setup involving Debian+Xen+FAI, and
demonstrated fully automated network installation of Xen virtual
machine, that has been afterwards migrated among various physical
servers. All this from a single SSH shell promt connected from Prague to
Pilsen.

Milan Ju??k later filled the gap by enumerating all remaining Xen
commands and demonstrating them.

Marek Pa?ovsk? shared his experience with Xen usage in real-world
environment of webhosting company. Milan V?clav?k from Czech Technical
University, Prague shared his experience with Xen usage in student
computer labs, where students can experiment with full root access.

Johannes Schindelin, one of the developers of QEMU described a unique 
approach to virtualization chosen by QEMU, thanx to which QEMU, as the 
only virtualization tool can emulate different guest processor on 
different host processor.

The closing talk by Lubo? Ko??o from Sun demonstrated a laptop setup
using Xen virtual host hibernation to replace non-existent
suspend-to-ram/suspend-to-disk feature in OpenSolaris kernel.

our big thax is going to all speakers...

Looking forward to the next meeting,
Martin
