Home (and Small Office) NAS, and more!

Derek Glover and Bill Taroli are joining us to talk about some interesting experiences they've had building and tweaking home/lab/small office NAS devices.

Derek, formerly known as @chirpah of Infrant/Netgear ReadyNAS fame, is now "Galactic head of technical marketing" at Nexenta. There's a chance of another special guest, someone you might not think of in terms of sub-million-dollar storage environments... but if he can make it you'll get another perspective on affordable NAS storage as well.

We're meeting at Nexenta's HQ in Santa Clara. There is limited space,
so please RSVP at the Meetup location above. We'll be poking the RSVP list Tuesday or Wednesday, so don't fret if you get onto the automatic waitlist at Meetup. And if you show up at LinkedIn this month, you'll probably be disappointed.

Thanks to Nexenta for hosting us at their Santa Clara offices. There will be some tables and chairs to sit at. If we get a full house, may be some standing or 'bean bag' seats ;) Plenty of pizza and beer will be served. The front door of the Nexenta office will be locked since its after hours, but there will be a note on the door directing you to the side door (right of the main door). From there, someone will escort you to the third floor meeting room. If have any questions on finding the location, or issues getting inside, you can reach Derek at 510-579-8508.
