Hi friends of illumos!

Episode No. 2 of the podcast "friends of illumos" is out!

After a weekend packed with podcast cutting and postprocessing I finally managed to upload the new episode. I decided to give https://podigee.com a try and uploaded the new episode FOI002 as well as the older one FOI001. I think it will take a moment, until the subdomain for foi is established. You can listen or register the RSS feed here: https://foi.podigiee.io

Hi all, SFE is still alive.

The Internet-Connetion suffered a bit from the bad weather conditions during the last weeks.
Today I switched to a different uplink using a GRE tunnel. Just in case you see some issues with the package repositories, then please drop me a note on sfepackages@gmail.com and let me know what is the error you can see.

Visit the illumos table at @FOSDEM in Bruessels, Belgium, Febuary 1st & 2nd 2020, Building K.

If you are a Solaris, an OpenIndiana Hipster or OmniOS user, you'll find the illumos table full of really nice people that are very happy to have a chat with you. And I believe you can get illumos stickers too.

Regards
Thomas

PS: Still searching for an intro music for the podcast. If you have an idea for music that matches with this technical podcast, that would help speeding up the release!
