it’s raining builds..

so i delivered 20060320 yesterday which was a snapshot halfway through build 37. i also delivered build 36 today.

i’ve been trying to get stuff ready for FISL. so far i managed to get a flight and hotel booked, and… well… that’s about it. we’ve been working on the swag to bring down, and all the paperwork involved in export control getting this stuff to Brazil. filling all the forms was fun… like the one that asked me ‘what countries will this product ultimately end up in’ (my paraphrase). uh… i dunno… i’m giving out t-shirts at a conference. how the hell will i know where they’ll end up?

anyway. for the swag-enthusiasts, i’m attempting to bring 144 of the opensolaris ringer ‘love at first boot’ t-shirts. we’re also trying to figure out how to press a whole ton of DVDs. i’ve got a DVD image i just made (sorry SPARC guys, i’m only bringing x86 discs, but let me know if you want a SPARC one and i’ll special-burn one for ya) of SXCR b36 + ON source/closed-bins/bfu + Sun Studio 10 compilers. i’m also hopeful Dennis will finish the ISO-formerly-known-as-BOB image with Nexenta, Belenix, & Schilix. if he finishes that image in time for FISL, then i’ll try and press a bunch of those and bring those as well.

so i’m totally psyched for FISL. i got my swag. i got my OpenSolaris evangelist cap and attitude going. i got my camera, my laptop to blog on, and i’ve even got my own OpenSolaris shot glass to do shots from.
