This month, we don't actually have a main speaker organised, so we're just going to wing it.

Along with presenting the OpenSolaris news which we didn't get to talk about in December, we'll also cover January's news items, which are already starting to mount up!

In addition, we could use the extra time to host some ad-hoc Lightning Talks – these worked pretty well the last time we did these, and we think the casual atmosphere helped a bit. Here's what we talked about last time:

If you've slides in advance that you want to send on, please drop Tim a mail, or feel free to just bring them along on the night.

We'll update this web page with any Lightning Talk topics we get in advance — all volunteers welcome!

Here's our talk schedule so far:

Jan SchmidtWebcam support in OpenSolaris + GStreamer demos
Tim FosterZFS – 2.5 years since integration [ this talk was cancelled due to time constraints ]
DIT Compter Science Dept.Computing projects at DIT

As always, we'll be recording the talk and adding it to our podcast feed as well as posting the slides here, in case you can't make it to the meeting.

Note this month, that we're holding the meeting on a Thursday – we've had a few people say that Tuesdays don't suit, so perhaps it would be better to switch the day the meetings are held on each month to better accommodate folks ?

Again, many thanks to the nice people at DIT for hosting our meeting, please let us know if the change of date doesn't suit?
