Brendan Gregg at FROSUG, Oct 2009

On October 29th, Brendan Gregg spoke at the Front Range OpenSolaris User Group meeting on “Little Shop of Performance Horrors” (a Halloween theme). Yes, we taped it.

Social Media Production: LISA ’09

I’m sitting in a hotel room in Baltimore, listening to a meeting while monitoring the live stream of a presentation at LISA ’09. I’ve been using the video blog, Twitter and irc (#opensolaris) to let people know this is available. Which has resulted in 26 people on the live stream, at the moment.

The technicalities and camera work of the stream are being done by the merry (and very competent) crew at USENIX – Sun sponsored the live video stream and recording, so I’ll be able to use their files afterwards to produce final, edited videos.

The final video is on YouTube.

Teresa Applies Her Training

The main reason I did videoblogging training at Sun’s Menlo Park offices a couple of weeks ago (rather than at some other time) was to get my colleague Teresa Giacomini ready to film the OpenSolaris User Group meeting she ran in Dresden this week. Looks as if she handled it just fine!
