OpenSolaris Day, Free Event in Porto Alegre

The Porto Alegre OpenSolaris User Group, together with the SouJava community, invites you to OpenSolaris Day on April 16, 2008, at the Bank Workers Union Auditorium, in Porto Alegre. Admission is free.

The meeting is a good chance to better understand OpenSolaris, the open version of Sun Microsystems’ Solaris. The conversation covers features that catch attention in the daily life of those who administer and develop: the ZFS file system, DTrace for real-time diagnostics, containers for lightweight isolation, SMF for managing services with more predictability and Crossbow for network virtualization. It’s content that helps understand why these technologies influenced so much in the Unix world and in free software.

The expected audience mixes system administrators, Java developers, students and IT professionals curious about Unix-like systems. Worth going to exchange ideas, see practical cases and make contacts with those who already use or are starting to test.

Registrations and updated information are on the official OpenSolaris project website. If you want to expand technical repertoire and get closer to the community, it’s an event that deserves to enter your agenda. Participating is simple, learning is certain.
