Some may remember that last month TriLUG joint-sponsored a meeting with
NC*SA.  And this month's meeting was this Monday on embedded Linux... it
was pretty interesting.  The NC*SA folks strike me as a somewhat stuffy
crowd... they did their best to get out of there in an hour; and had much
less "networking" and heckling.  They were supposedly having elections
for the steering committee, but no one was nominated.  The fact that
mailing list is pretty dead doesn't surprise me based on that.  But you
could probably still find someone with Solaris expertise.

FYI, their web site is http://www.ncsysadmin.org/

It came across sort of last-minute.  But the meetings are always the
second Thursday of every month, so you really have no excuse!  :)
