From james.deagle at yahoo.com Thu Nov 12 15:07:13 2009 From: james.deagle at yahoo.com (James Deagle) Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2009 12:07:13 -0800 (PST) Subject: [ocuug] Company seeks Ottawa-based AIX/HP-UX/Solaris guru Message-ID: <440200.89184.qm@web55301.mail.re4.yahoo.com> Hi all, An acquaintance of mine at an IT firm is seeking a UNIX guru proficient in the main commercial offerings for one of their clients who has an AIX environment. (He also mentioned that solid experience with HP-UX or SCO would suffice in the absence of AIX experience.) If that sounds like you or someone you know, please email me your name and contact info, and I will forward it on to the guru-seeker. My email address is james.deagle at yahoo.com. Cheers, James __________________________________________________________________ Looking for the perfect gift?

For those who do not remember, (that's everyone, as this is a change to our schedule) that means the Ottawa-Carleton Unix Users Group gets together for an evening of conversation, beverages and food (not necessarily in that order). Last month we had 4 people. So far the change in night has not made a difference. If the change of meeting night which seemed to get a positive response makes no difference, maybe a change of venue will? If you have the free time, come out and let us know what's been happening with you.

Co-located with NSDI '10 in San Jose, CA, this one-day workshop provides a venue in which to present and discuss peer-to-peer technologies, applications, and systems and to identify key research issues and challenges that lie ahead. This year, the workshop's charter will be expanded to include topics relating to self-organizing and self-managing distributed systems. This is in response to recent trends where self-organizing techniques proposed in early peer-to-peer systems have found their way into more managed settings such as datacenters, enterprises, and ISPs to help deal with growing scale, complexity, and heterogeneity. In the context of this year's workshop, peer-to-peer systems are defined to be large-scale distributed systems that are mostly decentralized, are self-organizing, and might or might not include resources from multiple administrative domains. Papers will be selected based on originality, likelihood of spawning insightful discussion, and technical merit. The program will include presentations of position papers along with plenty of time for lively discussion among the participants, as well as a demo session for working systems. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: * Network and system support for peer-to-peer systems * Self-organizing and self-managing distributed systems * Adaptive algorithms and architectures for large-scale distributed systems * New applications and protocols for peer-to-peer systems * Availability, robustness, performance, and scaling * Security, privacy, anonymity, anti-censorship, and incentives * Lessons drawn from experience with deployed peer-to-peer systems * Measurement, modeling, and workload characterization Complete paper submissions are due Friday, December 18, 2009, 11:59 p.m. EST. For more details on the submission process, please see the complete Call for Papers at: http://www.usenix.org/iptps10/cfpa/ We look forward to receiving your submissions! Michael J.
