[ug-glug] Next OpenSolaris GLUG Meeting

[Chip Bennett]

At the next OpenSolaris GLUG meeting, Jim Fiori, engineer from Sun 
Microsystems, will be one of our speakers.  Jim is visiting us while 
doing a presentation on DTrace for the March Sun breakfast meeting.

However, Jim's presentation to us will be different material from the 
Sun meetings.  Understanding that there probably won't be time to cover 
all of these subjects, Jim is prepared to cover any of the following 
topics at our meeting, depending on the direction the group dynamics 
drives the discussion.

   1. How to approach problems with DTrace
   2. DTrace Implementation Details
   3. DTrace Case Studies (actual customer engagements) 
   4. USDT example (adding probes to your application) 
   5. More on DTrace Futures (over and above what's presented at the Sun
      meeting)
   6. Tuning the T2000 for UDP-intensive application using Nevada:
          * Nemo project (GLDv3, link aggregation) 
          * Yosemite project (FireEngine for UDP) 
          * Soft rings project (for spreading interrupt processing) 
          * DTrace scripts used for this tuning effort

The location for the next meeting is still up in the air, but the time 
is tentatively (but pretty firmly, since our guest speaker is flying in 
from out of town) scheduled for Tuesday March 7, 2006, at 7:00 PM.

Hope to see you there!
