The kind folks at BayLISA posted a bunch of videos from the December 15th meeting. I most enjoyed Steve Hand's Xen presentation (for sheer wizardry) and Ben Rockwood's OpenSolaris presentation (for his raw geek enthusiasm that reminded me of days long past when I coo'd over things like the release of the Mac IIci). There are also some notably missing videos about DragonFly BSD ("I saved 20 nanoseconds per context switch, hear me roar!", "Sorry, we haven't worked out the NUMA parts of the OS because we can't afford anything except the cheapest AMD X2 processor" -- dude, someone's got to get this guy a quad processor rig) and Luke Kanies' project Puppet, an alternative to cfengine. Oh, and there's me.
