SCALE this weekend
I'm heading out to Los Angelos for the 5th Annual Southern California Linux Expo. I'll try and post inbetween sessions (that is... whenever I can). I'll be attending these talks:
- Leveraging the IT Community (This talk is focused on a building a new broad resource for sysadmins by sysadmins. Starting with the concepts that made the site Wikipedia a great success and tools like grep so universal, this talk will discuss the challenges of building a large IT community / knowledge base and how to bring IT troubleshooting to the next level.)
- Admin++, what root never told you (In this talk will go over some of the lessons he learned from helping to simultaneously build two startups facing different technological challenges: "Digg" and "Revision3")
- How to monitor your infrastructure with Open Source software (Systems Management is one of the most expensive and time consuming parts of an IT guy's job. Open source software is making it easier to deploy and integrate systems management as well as making it cheaper to manage your infrastructure. Erik Dahl, the leader of the open source Zenoss project will share his experience developing monitoring solutions...)
- Web Applications: What is your backup/recovery plan? (One of the overlooked mission critical task is the backup and recovery of the critical data maintained by these applications. This session will examine backup and recovery requirements for Web applications, various open source tools that can be used to achieve them and best practices.)
- New & Improved: How a More Modern IT Security Model Can Better Protect Enterprise Data on Linux Systems (...discuss the inherent limitations of existing enterprise security approaches and will outline the key elements of an end-to-end IT infrastructure, highlighting the tremendous security benefits this approach offers enterprises of all types using Linux systems.)
I'll post pictures as well from the weekend...
