In case someone is interested: Solaris Technical Day on the 23rd May in Vienna What is the best way to directly exchange information with your fellow engineers running UNIX platforms or applications thereupon? In our opinion it is a face-to-face chat by a conference-coffee or by an after-conference beer. To enable this kind of less formal technical information exchange we set up a technical event, the Solaris Day 2013 in Vienna. We invite customers, partners, SystemEngineers, DBAs, ApplicationEngineers, and anyone else interested in Solaris technologies to join us on the 23rd May, in Vienna in the Urania to review past, present and future Solaris technologies, discuss real-world customer usecases, learn about the ways Solaris features are utilized in different scenarios. What do you need to know? I. The event is on May 23, in Vienna, in the Urania. II. The presentations will be held in english, for we have invited and expect an international audience III. There will be a registration link put up (here too!) very soon, this blogpost is to inform you so that you can save the date into your calendar (do it now!) IV. To participate in the technical Hands-on-Labs bring along your laptop with a 64-bit OS and an up to date VirtualBox installation (can be done withing minutes). V. We are looking forward to seeing you!
