From darren at darrenduncan.net Mon Oct 6 20:24:11 2008 From: darren at darrenduncan.net (Darren Duncan) Date: Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:24:11 -0700 Subject: [VPM] Tue, 2008 Oct 7th, 7pm - October RCSS meeting Message-ID: <48EAD65B.3050401@darrenduncan.net> Tomorrow, Tuesday, 2008 Oct 7th, is the October Recreational Computer Science Society (RCSS) meeting, which takes place at 7pm at UVIC on the first floor of the Engineering Computer Science (ECS) building, probably either room 104 or 130. Some presentation details that have been discussed today follow. ------ Peter van Hardenberg said: I've been playing with that little micro controller I showed last meeting, so I can wave that around for people's amusement, and also, I think Cy said he could talk about ZFS? Cy Schubert said: I will be speaking tomorrow. I'll use slides from two other presentations. I will discuss what ZFS is from a user's perspective and attempt to get into the internals during my second presentation. As I have a FreeBSD system on my notebook I'll use it to show some examples during the "end user" portion of the discussion. Peter van Hardenberg said: I think there's an interesting debate to be had about how the widespread deployment of flash drives is going to affect filesystem design. I think it's going to lead to a total revolution and hopefully, lots of exciting new ideas to talk about. ------ Other topics and presentations may also be had. I look forward to seeing people there. -- Darren Duncan
