On Thursday Dec 6th 2007, the Dutch OpenSolaris User Group will hold its fourth meeting at SUN Microsystems Nederland. Solaris developers, users, enthusiasts, experts and novices are all welcome.
Theme for this meeting is: KornShell 93 and virtualization with OpenSolaris xVM

We will start at 19:30, agenda as follows:
Bart Muijzer, NLOSUG host, will give an update on the group.

Henk Langeveld will give a talk on KornShell 93.
The KornShell is a direct descendant from the original unix Bourne shell. The '93 version has been open-sourced since 2002, and offers many features, such as associative arrays, floating point arithmetic, and fast builtin functions.
Besides ksh techtalk, the presentation will also address some of the issues around getting ksh initiated and accepted as an OpenSolaris process (http://www.opensolaris.org/os/project/ksh93-integration).

Frank van der Linden, Solaris Kernel Engineer, will present on OpenSolaris xVM. The hypervisor based on Xen that was integrated in OpenSolaris just recently. Frank will start with a general description of the Xen hypervisor, address OpenSolaris specifics and explain how things look "under the hood".
Refer to http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/xen for more information.

Of course there will be plenty of time for networking.

We plan to end around 22:00 with food and drinks at the bar.
