OpenSolarisStorageSummitBWBanner.jpg

The date for the OpenSolaris Storage Summit 
<http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/storage/Summit08> has been set. 
We will be hosting the event at the Santa Clara Hyatt Regency 
<http://santaclara.hyatt.com/> hotel on the 21st of September, 2008. 
This is right before this year''s Storage Developer Conference 
<http://www.snia.org/events/storage-developer2008/> at which Sun is a 
Platinum sponsor.

We already have a couple of keynote speakers lined up: Ben Rockwood 
<http://www.cuddletech.com/blog/> and Mike Shapiro 
<http://blogs.sun.com/mws/>. It will take place all day Sunday, so if 
you are coming to SDC this year, come a day early and participate. We 
will have the first ever OpenSolaris Storage Community meeting (face to 
face). A great way to meet some folks that you may only know by their 
email addresses. Everybody has an opportunity to give a Lightning talk 
and/or put a poster together about what they are working on or doing 
with OpenSolaris storage.

Registration is via a wiki page here: 
http://www.genunix.org/wiki/index.php/OpenSolaris_Developer_Summit_08. 
Just add your name and contact information into the Attendance List 
table and you are registered! Attendance is free and we hope many folks 
from the community will attend this year. Also, you should add yourself 
to the summit list 
<http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolarisstorage-summit>, 
even if you are not sure you will be able to go, so you can keep up to 
date with the planned activities. We may create ways to participate even 
if you can''t make it to Santa Clara this year (if we get people asking 
for access). Once registered, scroll down to the bottom of the wiki and 
suggest some topics or volunteer to participate as a poster or lightning 
talk. Fill in some details about yourself (or someone else) at the 
bottom of the page.

Check it out, get involved, and I hope to see you there! It will be a 
blast. More details later...

OpenSolaris Storage Summit 2008
The date for the OpenSolaris Storage Summit is fast approaching and time 
is running out
to make plans to attend. The summit will be held at the Santa Clara 
Hyatt Regency on
September 21st, 2008. We are holding it right before the SNIA Storage 
Developer Conference
(SDC) that takes place at the same hotel the following week.

We know that many folks will be interested in attending SDC as well as 
the free Storage Summit,
but cannot afford the registration fee for a full week SDC pass, so we 
have decided to give away
a limited number of SDC passes to Storage Summit attendees.

Here''s what to do if you want to try and win a free SDC pass:

   1. Edit your name and contact information into the summit wiki site
     
<http://wikis.sun.com/display/OpenSolaris/OpenSolaris+Storage+Summit+2008>.
   2. Sign up for the mailing list
     
<http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/opensolarisstorage-summit>.
   3. Drop a comment on the wiki page telling us you''d like to try for
a
      free pass.

We will collect all the names until August 25th and then judge the 
applicants based
on need and participation in the event. If you want to increase your 
chances, be sure
and sign up to do a poster or lightning talk.

Good luck and hope to see you at the summit.
