                    Short but Cool Topics

Our annual Short but Cool general meeting will include speakers 
Doug White on FreeBSD new features, Alan DuBoff demoing Solaris 10's 
dtrace, and Tom Jackiewicz on OpenLDAP.

We will have a night of festive fun starting off with announcements, and 
follow with these speakers and more. The best topic of the night (as voted 
by the audience) will win a prize! It's not too late to sign up to talk 
about an idea you are working on, interesting open source tool you've 
discovered, or scary Sys Admin story. Contact blw at baylisa.org with 
details, or one of the Board.

Next month - Alan DuBoff on Solaris 10
Alan will be talking about Sun's latest OS, Solaris 10. Alan will show 
some of the features of Solaris 10, along with key points of what is 
included in this release. Some of the features include DTrace, N1 Grid 
Containers, ZFS, X server(s), Java Desktop Systems, PXE install for 
x86/AMD64, StarOffice, as well as differences between this release and 
some of the previous releases. Solaris 10 supports SPARC processors as 
well as 32-bit x86 processors and 64-bit AMD64 processors.

BayLISA meets every month on the 3rd Thursday of the month.  A short
period of announcements of general interest to the sysadmin community
is presented, followed by a technical talk.  Anyone may make an
announcement; typical are upcoming presentations, user group meetings,
employment offers, etc.
