Tonight at LOPSA-NYC! Ganeti open source virtualization

As previously mentioned, I'll be the speaker at LOPSA-NYC.

Come here me speak about the Ganeti open source project. Think virtualization clusters have to cost big bucks? Think virtualization isn't useful for a small site? Come and find out why a person that usually talks about Time Management thinks virtualization is his new favorite time management trick.

Hope to see you there!

Thanks to LOPSA-NJ for a great time!

I had a great time speaking at LOPSA-NJ last Thursday. The turnout was around 20-30 people. Everyone was very friendly. A couple people were there for the first time, I hope not their last time.

The presentation that I did was 60 minutes from my new tutorial called "Design Patterns for System Administrators". The full tutorial is 3-hours long and will be premiered at Usenix LISA 2009. I really appreciate the group letting me run though some draft slides and giving me feedback. It will make the actual tutorial a lot better.

A special shout-out to Bill for inviting me and running the organization. I really appreciate the opportunity to speak!

In addition, we will be hanging out in what is known as "the hallway track". In fact, if you haven't attended LISA before, you should know that a lot of the educational value is the people you meet. Tom says, "Early in my career a lot of what I learned was from the conversations in the hallway."
