Devops Needs Sushi
About 2.5 months ago while I was on a highspeed Belnet connection at UZA after Amber got born I ran in to some annoyancies with my fresh Fedora 11 and multiple batteries, upon replacing the CD drive with an empty battery (to be charged) while I was on AC power the machine shut down.
I filed a bug , while going trough my post holliday inbox backlog I noticed it got fixed . Thnx Richard !
Somehow this year my schedule really isn’t going to get filled with conferences,unlike my 13 speaking engagements last year this year I decided to go for a lot less :)
Froscon together with OpenSQLCamp is convienently scheduled during an already long planned family weekend .. but I really hope to go there nex year
I’ve been wanting to go south for conferences for ages, Spain, France, Portugal, Italy , Greece are all places I’d love to go and see how the different Open Sourcen conferences play out there. This summer there actually were some different conferences tha took place in Spain, Gran Canaria etc . but I coouldn’t make it there for the obvious reasons..
Dear MySQL and Drupal , Plone and other Open Source folks, you might want to be interrested in giving a talk at T-Dose 2009 ,
Jean Paul pinged me with the following mail :
Maybe it escaped your attention that the Call For Papers for T-DOSE 2009 is already out. It has been announced on 12th of June 2009. Below you will find the original announcement.

You must have noticed the fuzz around CentOS, the open Letter , and luckily Lance showing up again ..
I’ve been a long time CentOS user , so this kind of events are pretty close to my heart, I never really worried about the future of the project , the CentOS community is was standing behind their message as one group. If Lance wouldn’t have shown up again quoting Arrfab:
“The worst would be to switch to another domain name .. but you already know that everything is a fscking DNS problem”
Jan Wildeboer pointed us to the Mayflower post about their letter from the European Commission.
It seems like the the European Commision , more specifically the Directorate General for Competition , really is interested in our input regarding the matter, I mailed them and also got a questionnaire to fill in.
So if you have something interesting to tell them don’t hesitate to contact them too.
My yesterday post about RiverMuse only being available on Fedora Core 9 wasn’t even cold yet and today Rivermuse already announced the availability of their RHEL5 binaries.
Awesome Open Source !
Probably every day there’s a new Open Source project popping up left or right, sometimes they dissapear quickly , others are here to stay.
Enter Djagios, a Nagios configuration tool written in Django. At this time it’s in development phase but development is going pretty good now, Djagios has been incepted by fellow Inuit Jochen Maes
It aims at filling the gap between the vi and emacs Nagios guru’s and the manegerial type who just wants to and make Nagios usable for them.
First of all, I don’t come from a Tivoli, OpenView background , I have never touched the commercial network monitoring tools and I`m not a network guy . I’m an infrastructure guy whith a focus on Open Source platforms so I have been using Nagios and more recently Zabbix, Zenoss etc for the better part of the last 2 decades in large to very large environments.
My syslogs go to a central (r)syslog)-ng) server where I frequently abuse grep. So If my experience with RiverMuse is not what it should be , there’s work to be done on both sides ;)
So you need that old FC9 instance on your fresh F11 install.
Obviously I started a KVM instance on my desktop and installed FC9 in a Virtual Machine,
It took long to install, too long, so I looked if KVM was working correctly
Kvm was loaded but not in use ..
And then you remember why you had VirtualBox on that machine before it’s upgrade . indeed, this machine was to old it was not a VT Capable machine . VirtualBox performs much better there ..
Rivermuse is the new Fault Management platform tool on the market, their initial relase was lurking around the corner for a while now but since earlier this week it finally arrived
Eager to see what all the fuzz was about I jumped to their dowload page to find an yum repository for Fedora Core 9, that’s right .. it’s july 2009 and RiverMuse released their platform for a Linux distribution that got it’s End Of Life notice last month.
