Devops Needs Sushi
Last month I gave an 5 minute Ignite talk at #devopsdays Amsterdam.
To summarize .. it was a rant against people that think that the end of a sprint their work is done, an idea they might have gotten from a broken definition of done.
Both the video recording and the slides are embedded below.
My last post has been a while … in that I announced that there would be another event right before FOSDEM … I totally forgot to announce it here but I`m sure that most of you already know. Yes. PuppetCamp Europe is coming back to it’s roots… it’s coming back to the city where we hosted it for the first time on this side of the ocean.. Gent. (that’s 31/1 and 1/2 )
3+ months is probably the biggest timeout I’ve taken from blogging in a while..
Not that I didn’t have anything to write ..but more that I was prioritizing writing different content over
over writing blogposts.
Blogging tech snippets and contributing documentation used to be one now all of that has evolved.
Anyhow ..
So to get things going here’s my preliminary Conference schedule for the next couple of months.
First up, in about one week (august 20-24) Ill be chairing the #devops track at [DrupalCon Munich](http://munich2012.drupal.org/)\ Next to talking there myselve explaining the [Drupal Crowd what devops is](http://munich2012.drupal.org/program/sessions/whats-devops-thing-anyhow)\ Plenty of interresting content there ranging from culture over to tooling and back. Im really looking forward to this one.
I know the biggest part of my fanclub already booked tickets for my upcoming presentations, but the other 2 might want to check their calendars to see if they aren’t missing out on the good stuff :)
Next Sunday I`ll giving a shortish overview of MySQL HA alternatives in the MySQL and Friends devroom at Fosdem.
March will bring me to Manchester again for the UKUUG Spring conference where I`ll be giving a longer version of that presentation with a strong focus on integrating with PaceMaker, and automating the whole boostrap procedure of a HA setup.
Here’s how it started :
So I used to be a software developer, writing perl for the web, then C, then Java, then PHP, till I realized nobody ever configured my servers correctly and I changed trades becoming a system engineer, while teaching new developers the basics of their trade, whom grew into doing Infrastructure Architecture .. familiar story for much of the crowd at DevopsDays … a crowd that wants to stopping the war between developers and system engineering , a crowd that wants to automate builds, integrate testing, deploy, deploy on very large scale, deploy in the cloud and much more.
