In case you hadn't seen, for those of you know know me as "Just
Another Convicted Perl Hacker,", that's no longer the case:
<http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/fors-announce/message/22>.

I have a party up in Portland Oregon on st pat's day, but I'm down here for a
week working for a client, and a few of my friends are already planning on
gaming with me at Dave and Buster's (milpitas great mall) on Monday Night (5
march).  So I thought, oh, let's invite some more people who might remember
who I am, and why I haven't been able to get into Canada recently. :)

 Folks,

  I am seeking only information on Tivoli Storage Manager commands such as
dsmc. I am NOT seeking any discussion about other backup/data retention
software tools. I am trying to perform some specific operations for a
client and their data center has Tivoli installed. Nothing else is open
for discussion.

 I have learned a few things, please if someone is knowledgeable of Tivoli
please share more directly to me.

  ie:

  dsmc incremental subdirs=yes /apps

  dsmc <CR>

  query session <CR>
  query filespace /apps <CR>


  Thanks for any help!

I've done a lot of stuff with TSM over the years. I found the
documentation to be quite excellent for both the client and server.

   Solaris Performance & Tools Performance,
   Observability & Debugging in Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris

   Russell Blaine - Sun Microsystems

   Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris offer a wealth of bundled tools for understanding
   system and application performance and behaviour. Enhancements to existing
   tools, such as the proc(1) tools and mdb(1), and the new Solaris Dynamic
   Tracing facility, DTrace, combined with other utilities (kstat, cpustat,
   vmstat, etc) provide a rich environment for observability and debugging.

   In this session, we will discuss methodologies for understanding application
   and system performance, in terms of which tools to apply, how and when to use
   them, and the information they can provide.

   from the techdays bio page:
   http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/marketing/events/techdays/bios/

   Russell Blaine has been a developer in the Solaris Kernel group at Sun for
   six years. His areas of expertise include virtualization technologies,
   Solaris on x86 and AMD64, CPU performance counters, system call interfaces,
   and interrupt management. He most recently completed work on the BrandZ
   project, bringing linux emulation to Solaris Zones. He came to Sun in 2000
   after receiving a BSE in Computer Science from Princeton University.

Works well so far.  FYI, none of the regular files in the tarball

Message-ID: <3d2fe1780703200104k309e4ad1i165f12e96ca137b@mail.gmail.com>

Please join us on Thursday for another informative Peninsula Linux
Users' Group (PenLUG) meeting!

Date: 	Thursday, March 22nd, 2007
Time: 	meeting 7:00 - 9:00 PM, social/networking until 10 PM
Location: 	Twin Pines Park, 1225 Ralston Ave, Belmont, CA 94002
See www.penlug.org for full details, directions, and more information

RSVP: Not required, but if you send a note to rsvp at penlug.org it will
help us estimate the attendance and ensure we order the right amount
of FREE PIZZA (thanks to Open Country)

This month's Speaker: Kyle Rankin, Mplayer

In this talk, Kyle Rankin will discuss the swiss-army knife of media
players, mplayer. Specifically Kyle will cover introductory mplayer
usage, how to get those proprietary formats working, and follow up
with some of his favorite mplayer options.

Kyle Rankin is a system administrator for Quinstreet, Inc., the
current president of the North Bay Linux Users Group, and the author
of several O'Reilly books: Knoppix Hacks, Knoppix Pocket Reference,
and Linux Multimedia Hacks, and co-author of Ubuntu Hacks. Kyle has
been using Linux in one form or another since early 1998. In his free
time he does pretty much the same thing he does at work--works with
Linux. He has spoken at PenLUG twice before (Dec 2004 and Jan 2006),
and is always a hit.

2007 USENIX/ACCURATE Electronic Voting Technology Workshop (EVT '07)
August 6, 2007
Boston, MA, USA
Sponsored by USENIX: The Advanced Computing Systems Association, and

Transparent Elections
Submissions Deadline: April 22, 2007, 11:59 PDT
http://www.usenix.org/evt07/cfpa
-----------------------------------------

The Call for Papers for the 2007 USENIX/ACCURATE Electronic Voting
Technology Workshop is now available.

EVT '07 seeks to bring together researchers from a variety of
disciplines, ranging from computer science and human factors experts
through political scientists, legal experts, election administrators,
and voting equipment vendors. EVT seeks to publish original research on
important problems, including how the software and hardware in voting
might be engineered to be more robust against tampering or how it might
be written to be more easily and openly verified. Papers exploring
"end-to-end" approaches that strive to ensure that the integrity of the
election is independent of software and hardware are also encouraged.

EVT also welcomes submissions on how these systems might be engineered
to be more usable by the broad voting population. EVT also seeks
discussion of how election regulations and standards may evolve to
support better election technologies. Additionally, EVT encourages
position papers on the practicality (or impracticality) of the
technological advances in electronic voting, particularly with the
limited budgets available to many elections administrators. EVT will
consider papers covering the gamut of technology as it is used in
elections, ranging from voter registration and vote collection through
tabulation and post-election auditing. We are interested in both future
technologies and systems widely used today around the world.

In particular, we welcome papers considering:

* Design and analysis of electronic voting schemes and protocols

* Deployment and lifecycle concerns

* Mitigating threats (including insider threats)

* Usability and accessibility (both for voters and administrators)

* Legal issues, including how voting systems must comply with the ADA
and HAVA or the effect of intellectual property rights and nondisclosure
agreements on voting system testing, certification, and deployment

* The technology standards process and how it should evolve

EVT '07 will be a one-day event, Monday, August 6, 2007, co-located
with the 16th USENIX Security Symposium in Boston, MA. In
addition to paper presentations, we may have vibrant panel
discussions with substantial time devoted to questions and answers.

The submissions deadline is 11:59 p.m. PDT on Sunday, April 22, 2007.
Submissions guidelines can be found at http://www.usenix.org/evt07/cfpa

We look forward to your submission.
