[ug-glug] January meeting, and a quick online interest survey

[boutilier]

Happy new year OpenSolaris Great Lakes User Group!

With help from Chip Bennett and Russell Rezaian, I put together an short
online interest survey. Please take a couple minutes to submit your
input here:

    http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=651241619502

The main part of the survey asks you to indicate your level of interest
(by clicking on low, med, or high) in the following topics:

 - BrandZ (Linux Zones)
 - Contributing to OpenSolaris
 - Driver frameworks and driver development
 - FMA (Predictive Self-Healing) and other hardware specific Solaris features
 - How DTrace was implemented
 - New bootloader for x86
 - OpenSolaris logistical basics: Doing one's 1st build; how the source is organized
 - Ports and Distros projects (e.g. Blastwave, SchilliX, etc.)
 - Resource Management (schedulers)
 - Submitting bugs
 - Writing DTrace scripts
 - Writing SMF manifests
 - ZFS

Other than that, there are just two quick multiple choice questions and
a place to enter comments.

We're making tentative plans to have the January meeting on either Tuesday
the 24th or Wednesday the 25th (in the evening of course). And thanks
to a very kind offer from Chip Bennett and Laurus Technologies Inc., it
looks like we'll be able to hold the meeting at their Itasca location
(1091 Hawthorne Drive).
