Welcome to the home page of the Sydney OpenSolaris Users Group (SOSUG). We meet approximately monthly.

We have a Mailing list at Google Groups

Watch this space for more cool stuff soon.

This page is very out of date (about a year). There are a couple of meetings that have occurred that are not here. I hope to address this soon. Alan.
