Just wanted to make a quick announcement that there will be an OpenStorage Summit in Palo Alto, CA in late October. The conference should have a lot of good OpenSolaris talks, with ZFS experts such as Bill Moore, Adam Levanthal, and Ben Rockwood already planning to give presentations. The conference is open to other storage solutions, and we also expect participation from FreeNAS, OpenFiler, and Lustre for example. There will be presentations on SSDs, ZFS basics, performance tuning, etc. The agenda is still being formed, as we are hoping to get more presentation proposals from the community. To submit a proposal, send an email to summit2010 at nexenta.com.
