From Jim.Grisanzio at Sun.COM Fri Sep 1 00:57:20 2006 From: Jim.Grisanzio at Sun.COM (Jim Grisanzio) Date: Fri, 01 Sep 2006 16:57:20 +0900 Subject: [ug-discuss] User Group Update Message-ID: <44F7E7E0.9020502@sun.com> With the addition of Shanghai and Seattle, we are now up to 36 user groups http://opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/osug-leaders/ on the site. Which is cool. We're growing. Most groups have pages and lists on opensolaris.org, but a couple have pages and/or lists external to opensolaris.org, so I've tried to collect them all in one grid. I think I have everyone at this point. We also currently have five groups that have hidden pages because they never got off the ground or their owners weren't ready yet or their owners changed their minds. So, maybe these will go in the future: Raleigh OpenSolaris User Group -- (hidden) South Africa OpenSolaris User Group -- (hidden) Rio de Janeiro OpenSolaris User Group -- (hidden) NYC OpenSolaris User Group -- (hidden) OpenSolaris User Group--Denmark -- (hidden) Sun's Tech Days will help us establish a few more groups along the way, I'm sure. I have pinged he Korean team and will be traveling to Korea for that Tech Day. Hopefully, we'll be able to set up a group there. If you look at Tech Days http://developers.sun.com/events/techdays/ you'll see that we have the opportunity to either set up a few more groups or to engage groups already there but who have been quiet: Seattle, United States September 6-8, 2006 Shanghai, China September 22-24, 2006 Beijing, China September 27-29, 2006 Buenos Aires, Argentina October 23-25, 2006 Seoul, Korea November 8-10, 2006 Prague, Czech Republic November 14-16, 2006 Hyderabad, India February 21-23, 2007 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia March 6-8, 2006 London, United Kingdom March 14-16, 2007 Atlanta, United States March 2007 St. Petersburg, Russia April 2007 S?o Paulo, Brazil April 17-19, 2007 Mexico City, Mexico May 16-18, 2007 Jim From Jim.Grisanzio at Sun.COM Tue Sep 5 21:00:54 2006 From: Jim.Grisanzio at Sun.COM (Jim Grisanzio) Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2006 13:00:54 +0900 Subject: [ug-discuss] Welcome Madurai OpenSolaris User Group Message-ID: <44FE47F6.3020803@sun.com> Welcome to the OpenSolaris User Group Community, Praveen.

Ground floor 33 Berry St, North Sydney See http://opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/sosug for a link to a map. No actual planned speakers but there wil be a number of us (I hope) giving a brief spiel on what we are currently doing that we think might be interesting. It's also been a bit since we got together so a time for informal chat is probably a good thing. We are also fortunate to have Mr Brendan Gregg back with us on a flying trip to Australia. If folks are interested, I can also make available copies of the b48 non-debug encumbered-binaries as well as the ones from the b49 nightly that has the brandZ integration. I've also got brandZ running with this non-debug build if anyone wants a look. Notes * The security and safety folks have asked me to ensure that people visiting the Solution 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) Systems Technical Support Centre Sun Microsystems From Tim.Foster at Sun.COM Mon Sep 18 07:07:39 2006 From: Tim.Foster at Sun.COM (Tim Foster) Date: Mon, 18 Sep 2006 15:07:39 +0100 Subject: [ug-discuss] 5th Irish OpenSolaris User Group meeting Message-ID: <1158588460.403904.73.camel@haiiro> Hi All, We're going to hold our 5rd meeting next week - on Tuesday 26th September. Here are the details for the meeting: Topic : An Introduction to OpenSolaris Zones Date : Tue 26th September Time : 19:00pm Location: Room A109, Arts Building, University College Dublin Map at: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&z=17&ll=53.307218,-6.22192&spn=0.005109,0.008873&t=h&om=1 A linkable version of this announcement: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/ie-osug/iosug-5/ This month, we're giving an introduction to Zones - showing you how to configure, install and use them on OpenSolaris. We'll also show some of the basic resource allocations you can apply, to get the most out of your server. We'll also be demonstrating BrandZ - running Linux user-land applications inside an OpenSolaris Zone: a must see. If you're looking at doing any kind of virtualisation of server resources, then you should definitely come along. We'd like to express special thanks to UCD Netsoc for helping us to host this meeting: very much appreciated! Please feel free to publicise this meeting as widely as you like! Next month's meeting will be on October 31st - so we're already looking for topic ideas/speakers (given that it's on Halloween, perhaps a talk mentioning zombies & daemons would be appropriate, though Mike suggests something ZFS-related for the same reason[1] ;-) If you're interested in presenting a talk, we'd love to have more volunteers! cheers, tim [1] http://blogs.sun.com/bonwick/entry/zfs_the_last_word_in -- Tim Foster, Sun Microsystems Inc, Solaris Engineering Ops http://blogs.sun.com/timf From Alan.Hargreaves at Sun.COM Wed Sep 20 18:03:37 2006 From: Alan.Hargreaves at Sun.COM (Alan Hargreaves) Date: Thu, 21 Sep 2006 11:03:37 +1000 Subject: [ug-discuss] [Tonight - Updated Speakers] The Ninth meeting of the Sydney Open Solaris User Group Message-ID: <4511E4E9.20705@Sun.COM> Date: Thursday, September 21 Time: 6:30pm Location: Sun Solution (formerly iForce) Centre.

Brendan Gregg DTracing javascript in firefox Brendan started working at Sun a few weeks ago and has promised us something interesting. The message I got on Monday on IRC was: (16:51:52) brendang: I may be able to do a world first demonstration of something. I'll let you know ASAP whether I can. (16:52:38) brendang: I'll run it by Bryan in the morning (16:53:32) brendang: it will be a DTrace demo (16:53:32) brendang: quite a strange one ;) I had a bit of a peek at this (since he'll be using my notebook). This is uber-cool. General What I'm doing that is interesting We'll also set some time aside for anyone to spend a few minutes talking about anything that they are doing that they find interesting.

Here are some images from the Nihon Sun User Group Symposium yesterday in Tokyo: http://blogs.sun.com/jimgris/entry/nsug_photos http://www.flickr.com/photos/jimgris/sets/72157594295557391/ A bunch of people were taking pictures all day long, so I expect many more images to show up. There were about 100 people there from the Sun community throughout Japan. I gave an overview of OpenSolaris, obviously, but it was nice to hear OpenSolaris mentioned frequently during a presentation by a government administrator from Okinawa. Open Source software is important to the Japanese government, and OpenSolaris is very much on the agenda for conversation now. Congrats to the Nihon Sun government team for that. We gave away a bunch of OpenSolaris items (thank you for that Karyn), and interest seems pretty high. I met some people from Mozilla, too, which is very helpful because I'd like to be able to collaborate with some open source communities here. The sushi was great last night at the reception, too. :) Jim This message posted from opensolaris.org From Virginia.Wray at Sun.COM Mon Sep 25 14:52:14 2006 From: Virginia.Wray at Sun.COM (Virginia.Wray at Sun.COM) Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 15:52:14 -0600 Subject: [ug-discuss] FROSUG September meeting announcement Message-ID: <45184F8E.3020708@Sun.COM> REMINDER: this is tomorrow night.

Netsource, Inc. has offered to host the FROSUG meeting. They are located down south, so this will give folks who haven't wanted to make the trek to Broomfield a chance to attend. Of course, we hope all of you that come to our meetings on the Sun Campus join us too. This month Lisa Week is presenting pNFS. pNFS is a new protocol extention to NFSv4 which is being standardized in the NFSv4 Working Group of the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force). The pNFS protocol allows us to separate a NFS file system's data and metadata paths. With a separate data path we are free to lay file data out in interesting ways like striping it across multiple different file servers. The talk will go into how this is different from traditional NFS and the benefits and goals of this technology. Lisa Week is a Software Engineer at Sun Microsystems. She started at Sun in June of 2001 after graduating from the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering. When she first started at Sun she was in the Data Resource Management Group working on GUIs and APIs for things like file system mounts and shares. Then she went on to develop a CIM/WBEM provider for management of NFS. This what got her interested in and introduced her to NFS and she now works in the NFS group. Lisa has worked on multiple different NFSv4 related projects including NFSv4 ACLs (Access Control Lists) and she currently is a member of the pNFS (parallel NFS) project team. Here are meeting details: Presenter: Lisa Week Topic: pNFS Where: Netsource, Inc. 8020 Shaffer Parkway Littleton, CO 80127 When: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 6:30pm - 8:30pm Please RSVP by sending your first and last name to rnelson at nsllc.com.

Around 50 to 60 people attended this meeting. Allthe attendees received a copy of the Solaris x86 Installation DVD, a Solaris 10 Red Bible, and a set of localized OpenSolaris Starter Kit. Kathy Jenks kicked off the meeting with a presentation on Solaris Now and Future. Markus Flierl then talked on Solaris Network. Afterwards Patrick Gu gave Introduction and Demo to JDS. Although the attendees were quite interested in Sun technologies in general (Solaris and OpenSolaris in particular), there were not so many questions during the English talks. There could be two reasons, they know very little about Solaris (we move those more experienced industry users to the Solaris PUG, which went simultaneously with the OpenSolaris User Group meeting at another venue); their oral English is not good enough. This was proved during the last talk in Chinese. Quite a lot of questions and we added a user interaction after the JDS demo. We also promoted Open Glossary which will be soon on opensolaris.org. Thanks a lot to Kathy Jenks, Markus Flierl, and Patrik Gu for delivering the excellent presentation. Also to Siyuan Tian, Joey Guo, Polly Wang and other folks who helped organize the event.
