X-mas at Sun Microsystems
Well, this last thursday i visited the x-mas festival hosted by Sun.due to the huge number of visitors, we were informed to park our car nearby Sun hq to be driven there by shuttle bus.
the day was split up in 2 parts.
the 1st part was all about short seminars (20) on various topics.
not only seminars presented by Sun employees, but also by other companies.
you could attend 4 seminars in total so you had to pick 1 seminar out of 5 options for each session.
the 1st seminar i went to was about Solaris 10 update 1.
the original speaker was ill at home so the speech was done by none other than Casper Dik (i immediately felt a 'i'm not worthy' moment) :)
Casper Dik (to the left) / Mark van Gelder (Atos Solaris group to the right).after the 4 seminars had finished, it was time for the actual festival.
great atmosphere and a huge croud.
the Sun Fire T2000 was in the house so lots of excited people were taking a look at Sun's 32 thread 8 core beauty.
i also ran into a couple of old guys from the company i work for and had a chat about Sun, OpenSolaris, Solaris 10 and the AMD x64 systems and of course the UltraSPARC T1 among other things.
some nice lady was shooting photos of the crowd, so me and some of my work buddies decided to have our ugly faces digitally shot :)
i had a great time and, as always, am looking forward to next year's event.
