	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.
