Place: Yahoo campus, Sunnyvale, Building E, classroom 9 Topic: The Xen of Virtualization: Packaging applications for deployment in large scale virtualized environments During this discussion we will cover some of the drivers for why you would choose this type of a deployment. We will then discuss some of the virtualization design and deployment choices. Following that we will highlight some of the engineering projects that Oracle's Linux engineers are working on that should make it easier, and more performant to deploy large scale virtualized environments. We will then demo packaging an application using Oracle VM a Xen based virtualization environment, with Just enough OS. BayLISA attendees can expect to walk away with software, templates, and installguides - everything you need to try this out on a spare box at home. Bring your laptop to be prepared to try it out hands on if you are feeling adventurous. -Guy From sigje at sigje.org Thu May 21 17:18:46 2009 From: sigje at sigje.org (Jennifer Davis) Date: Thu, 21 May 2009 17:18:46 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Enjoy geek girl gatherings? Message-ID: <20090521170719.T91588@slick.sigje.org> Hey folks, So I'm looking to find a few females that would enjoy meeting up once a month to socialize in the South Bay area to support/share/and teach each other about all the wonderful geekalicious technology that is out there. If this sounds like something you would enjoy, please get in touch with me separately. I've also created a moderated list tcg_sfbay at yahoogroups.com to coordinate meeting up (if there are folks in different parts of the bay area that want to connect up, gives them a place to talk about it) To subscribe: tcg_sfbay-subscribe at yahoogroups.com For me, I'm looking to set up a regular breakfast/lunch on the weekend (though I could be convinced of a weekday meeting) somewhere in the Sunnyvale/Mountain View/Santa Clara area. Thanks! Jennifer
