We invite you to take 10 minutes or so to share with the group ways in which you are utilizing or planning to utilize SharePoint through your own company.
2. We’re envisioning an interactive user group in which we share ideas and training. Let’s brainstorm as a group regarding what we would like to see this group become, topic ideas, etc.

Sun Open Source Software: Â Did you know that virtually all Sun’s software is Open Source? Â That’s right…go out to our web and start downloading right now. Â Should you desire to have you installation supported, we are less expensive to support than Red Hat! Â You might have heard that Sun now owns the world’s most popular database, MySQL. Â Come hear how Sun will be supporting MySQL and optimizing servers for even better MySQL performance! Â Find out why Linux people lust after dTrace. Â Find out why Ebay called Solaris a better Linux than Linux and how they reduced search times by over 40% with just a few hours of dTrace tuning. Â
Sun CMT Servers: Â Did you know that Sun has servers that do 5x the work of a typical Dell or HP Server, utilize 1/5 the space in the data center and on average use 1/2 the power? Â Sun has developed the world’s first 8 core, 64 thread processor. Â Learn why and where you should be deploying the greenest server on the planet. Â
Sun xVM: Â Looking for an alternative to VMWare? Looking for better deployment methods? Try Sun xVM. Â xVM Ops Center is a highly scalable, knowledge driven, cross-platform, datacenter management solution; it runs across x86 and SPARC systems, supporting both Solaris and Linux, enabling enterprises to provision and administer both physical and virtual datacenter assets. Sun xVM OC provides a simple way to discover, provision, update, and manage across global IT environments providing average operational savings in the range of 35-60 %.
Sun is a Storage Company: Â That’s right…check us out for Storage. Â We have all the strorage options you will ever need including Sun’s still unique x4500, which provides up to 48 TB’s of raw storage for $1 per GB. Â Find out why all the tech writers won’t quit writing about the virtues of ZFS and why ZFS has the storage companies running scared. Â Oh, and yes, ZFS is open source! Â
We will be presenting on September 16th and giving away at least one cool prize…but the coolest prizes at Sun are all open source.  Go check it out at  www.sun.com.
