I'm looking for conferences/workshops/meetups to attend this year that
at least have some focus on DevOps tools and culture. I'm already
planning on attending Velocity in Santa Clara in June. I was
wondering if anyone here could recommend a conference they have been
too that they found really valuable from a DevOps perspective?

Hi Dave,

I guess you heard about http://devopsdays.org/ ?

Cheers

We don't have the full schedule for DevOps Days lined up for this year
yet. Oddly, they sometimes spring up with only a few months warning.
I'm pretty sure we're doing one in Austin this year. Ernest M. can
clarify since I think he's spearheading it.

You can pretty much guarantee that there will be at least one European
event as well.

Where are you located? If you can make it to LA next weekend, SCALE10x
is going on (http://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale10x) and there's a
DevOps event the day before hand.

Also, I would say that there's always relevant content at Surge
(http://omniti.com/surge/2012)

I'll second that recommendation, plus you can always look at the
videos from previous
years to help you decide if it's a good fit. Surge puts almost
everything online.

Apart from the ones mentioned, you can find some more recommendations
on lanyrd as well.

There will definitely be a DevOpsDays Austin on April 2-3.  Patrick will be posting it on the devopsdays.com site soon! It's not tied to another conference like the LA and Mountain View ones, but we sure had good turnout for Opscamp in 2009 so I hope we can pack 'em in anyway!

Yeah, Velocity, Surge, and Scale are the three that are most often cited.  I go to Velocity every year, would go to more but we're cheap that way here. I went to Scala last year too, which is more big data oriented but that can be relevant depending on your focus.

I hate to keep answering, sorry, but also check meetup.com and local tech calendars for locally relevant stuff.  Here in Austin there is a DevOps SIG of the local Agile group, for example.  The Puppet Labs/Opscode type of guys often have workshops here and there from time to time as well.

I'm glad that you let me know about this planning in advance, because I've already been accepted to give a tutorial on Chef at FLOSS-UK in March and a related talk (see <http://www.flossuk.org/Events/Spring2012>).

I was one of the organizers of http://campdevops.com/ in Chicago this past fall. I recorded video of most of the sessions and I will be posting them at http://devops.com/ soon. There are a few live blog entries there already.

I'm not sure if we'll organize another conference this year, but we have also had some great free meetups and hackathons that you can sign up for at http://www.meetup.com/devops/.

I am definitely planning to organize something adjacent to Cloud Connect Chicago in Sept. http://www.cloudconnectevent.com/chicago/

Thanks everyone for some good advice. There are lots of options out
there and I appreciate the insight. I think I will be checking surge
out since it looks like it is in Baltimore 45 minutes south of me :)
