OpenSolaris

<pre wrap="">Hi Aleks et al, I would propose we start a wiki page that anyone interested can edit to first start collecting things like - who is actually interested in such an activity - what are the topics of interest - who can talk to those topics - potential places - potential dates - potential events we could leverage for that activity - etc Since the opensolaris.org portal is (to my knowledge) lacking a possibility where anyone interested can edit/change a page, my natural choice would have been to create a page on e.g. http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page But it seems one is also not allowed to create new pages there - at least my self created account can only edit existing pages. Anyone has a good suggestion or the necessary rights/knowledge to get such a page started? We could also think if we want to combine such things with already existing local user group meetings, ie. instead of on central meeting, multiple geographic dispersed ones. Other open source groups do things like online Hackathons - where ppl. "meet" on irc over a weekend to get specific things done, etc. I am not suggesting we must do that, but just do throw out some further ideas. Marcelo did also make a good point that somehow it should get considered if online streaming or online participation is possible for those that can not physically attend - since we seem to be distributed within so many countries.

<pre wrap="">Hi, So can we give a real move to this idea? Aleks On 11/07/08 12:23 +0200, Steve Mckinty wrote: </pre>

<pre wrap="">Hi, If you want to consider holding it in France, which is reasonably central for EMEA, I'm sure we can offer the Sun R&D centre in Grenoble as a venue. It would depend on the expected attendance, we've held meetings for over 100 people in the past, and could probably accommodate 150-200 if multiple sessions were envisaged. That may be wishful thinking at this stage of the community-building, but let's aim high :). We also have a number of cluster experts in Europe. Summer is hiking season in the Alps, winter is for skiing. We have two ski stations within 40 minutes drive of the site... Steve Aleks Feltin wrote: </pre>

<pre wrap="">Hi! Feel free to propose date and place. We have to agree on that. It's just an idea so that all suggestions are welcomed! regards, Aleks F. On 11/07/08 10:41 +0200, Piotr Jasiukajtis wrote: </pre>

<pre wrap="">Hi! I have already shared my thoughts with Thorsten F. regarding the bootcamp event. I would like to come up with this idea again and propose to ogranize such event with a purpose to gather together for a few days for talking about OHAC internals, sharing tips and tricks, hacking and talking about new features. Would somebody support my idea? </pre>

<pre wrap="">The idea is great! Can you provide more information for example where and when it would be done? What country, this year, next year. +1 -- Regards, Piotr Jasiukajtis | estibi | SCA OS0072 http://estseg.blogspot.com </pre>
