Virtual Open Source Build a Cloud Days with DevOps Talk

[Mark R. Hinkle]

I suspect that most of the members of this group might find these
presentations a little more geared to the DevOps beginner but we do
have a pretty good DevOps talk planned for the 29th with Cloud/DevOps
guy John M. Willis from enStratus and a number of the talks cover how
DevOps should be an essential part of your cloud strategy.

Here's the overview, sign-up link included below:

Next week, on February 28th and 29th, we'll be holding a two day
online session focusing on the open source technologies you can use to
build, manage and deploy an open source cloud compute environment as
well as DevOps presentation on operational methodologies for managing
"cloudy" infrastructure. The program will feature speakers from
CloudStack, Citrix, Xen.org, Red Hat, Gluster, PuppetLabs, Opscode,
Zenoss and enStratus.

Even if you can't attend all the sessions feel free to sign-up and
we'll make our best effort to get you links to recordings and slide
decks after the event.
