Topic An Introduction to OpenSolaris Date Tuesday 27th Mar 2007 Time 6:30pm onwards Location Swift Theatre, Arts Block ??? TCD, courtesy of Netsoc http://www.tcd.ie/Maps/tcd_west.html A linkable version of this announcement: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/os_user_groups/ie-osug/iosug-7/ This month, we're going to hold a presentation on a topic that's probably a bit overdue for us, but better late than never: An Introduction to OpenSolaris. Tim's going to present: * Why OpenSolaris was started * How the project is organised * A short history of the project to date Fintan Ryan will be presenting: * Building & installing your own OpenSolaris bits * How you can start contributing So, if you're interested in learning more about OpenSolaris, as well as how to get started hacking on the code, you should definitely come along. We also have a have a slot for our monthly run-down of OpenSolaris highlights since our last meeting in February, however, we don't yet have someone to present this. It doesn't take long to put together these highlights, and it should only take about 5 minutes to present to the group ??? if you're interested in doing this, please let us know, volunteers are always welcome! Feel free to forward this announcement. As always, if you've ideas for future talks, or feel like presenting something yourself, we're open to all suggestions, just send us email. Looking forward to seeing you there (can someone suggest a good pub for afterwards ?) cheers, tim -- Tim Foster, Sun Microsystems Inc, Solaris Engineering Ops http://blogs.sun.com/timf From Scott.Dickson at Sun.COM Mon Mar 12 17:20:24 2007 From: Scott.Dickson at Sun.COM (Scott Dickson) Date: Mon, 12 Mar 2007 20:20:24 -0400 Subject: [ug-discuss] ATLOSUG Meeting - 3/20, 7PM Message-ID: <45F5EE48.5030808@sun.com> The March meeting of the Atlanta OpenSolaris User Group will be held Tuesday, 3/20, at 7PM at the Sun office in Alpharetta.

Any amount of time on > any of the days would be great. Please let me know. What a golden opportunity to meet and speak with Java developers. I will certainly be there for some time. Aside from such a rare opportunity to meet Java developers, I was asked last night at SVOSUG what Sun was planning for OpenSolaris Day or if one exists for JavaOne. Is there something like that, or will we be doing some type of BOF in the evening, or other? Last year didn't we do the Thirsty Bear? I wonder if we can get inside the conference this year and have a BOF as such. -- Alan DuBoff - Solaris x86 Engineering - IHV/OEM Group Advocate of Insourcing at Sun, hire people that care about our company!

Hopefuly someone is doing a "Getting Started with OpenSolaris" type session if you're thinking of attracting new members to the community. How to get Solaris/OpenSolaris installed, where to get tools (aside from what is included), how to become involved in the community, etc...I would be willing to give one on such a topic if you were interested, although I don't have one ready, I could do one. I also hope you might have a session on DTracing Java Apps. Seems like Phil Harman and John Haslam might have been interested in that. That would be an excellent pair of folks to have on that, but if not I would try to get someone such as Brendan Gregg and/or other DTrace folks to present that if they were available. I would target this as one of the 4 topics for certain. > We are also doing another Thirsty Bear event on Wed May 9th.
