Day 3 was stackconfs last day, and my first day at the conference. Datacenter on fire Remember that story about the fire in the OVH Strasbourg Data Center from earlier this year? Kris Buytaert was one of the Engineers on call that night and in his talk he spoke about what it was like to be in the team that was there while the outage happened. He explains how they mitigated the damages and how they recovered from the incident. But he didn't just talk about this specific incident, but...
We are back for day 2 and ready as ever. Everyone definitely felt a lot more relaxed and from the get go people were communicating with each other. We were welcomed back by Bernd and Christian and without wasting any time we jumped right into the first talk with Frank Karlitschek. Frank talked to us about "First hand experience: How Nextcloud stayed productive during COVID-19". A very relateable topic for a lot of us that have spent a lot of time in home office and have had to change our way...
stackconf is back and better than ever! Today started off very strong with a few new additions and great speakers that gave us an insight to a variety of topics. This being my first year at the conference, it was very exciting to get to started and involved with all the action and flow of all of the people coming together to learn something new. Right from the get go, you can see the amount of work that the Events Team put into making stackconf happen and the fact that it is all done online is...
stackconf: in-person or online? In the beginning of the year, this was the most talked about question in the NETWAYS Events Team. In March it became quite clear. We have not really had a choice in this one: If we wanted stackconf 2020 to happen, we had to hold it online. Soon we realized though that what was born from necessity also carried a big chance. The chance to try something new, to leave the comfort zone. Really overwhelming and convincing us that we were on the right path, was the...
The final day of stackconf online has now come to a close. It has been a wonderful three days full of interesting talks, fun commentary and lots of learning! Before I dive into the events of day 03, I want to shed some light on the evening event of day 02, which was all about socialising over long distances via the medium of video games: For the evening event Christian and Bernd streamed Mario Kart 8 on the Nintendo Switch with an open party, so everyone could join in. We had a bunch of fun...
On day 2 of stackconf we were again warmly welcomed and perfectly guided through the day by our webinar guru Christian Stein who was of course joined by CEO Bernd Erk. And no, we are not sponsored by the Muppet Show. 😉 At this point, again a big thank you to all our speakers for their great contributions and to all our participants who filled the chat channels with facts and a lot of life and fun! Today we also had many talks from great speakers! So let's see what we were able to learn......
It finally happened - after months of preparation, today was the first day of the very first stackconf online! Getting Started For the most attendees, online conferences are a new experience too. The Events team of NETWAYS did a great job in picking up every attendee and providing all the required information just in time. Besides the link to the conference stream, attendees received login data to attend multiple live chats. Starting Day 1 at stackconf felt almost like entering a conference...
The social event yesterday evening was a blast and the late lounge afterwards also a must. So while some were still recovering, the room for the first talk was already quite full. This showed the interest in Jochen Kressin's talk about "Zero Trusted Networks – why Perimeter Security is dead". He explained the (old) assumption of perimeter security "I am behind a firewall, so my traffic is secure" and asked the question if this is still true. Showing examples proving it is not true anymore...
As always OSMC started with the workshop day. This time the topics were Prometheus given by Julian Pivotto, Gitlab by Michael, Terraform by Lennart and Foreman by me. After the workshops with coming together for dinner and some drink social networking started, one of things I enjoy most at conferences nowadays. Day one started also like every time with a warm welcome from Bernd. Quite unexpected for me was the high number of first time attendees who raised hands when Bernd asked. It is always...
I can still remember when Greg had the idea of celebrating the Foreman's Birthday four years ago and I volunteered to organize the German one. After two editions and with Foreman being covered on the Open Source Camp last year I asked for others to run the party. And with ATIX doing a great job I asked them to team up on this. So we have grown a great community event with the annual Birthday party. This year was different to the ones before because we had such a big support by Red Hat. The new...
As you may remember we gave the Foreman Project another party to celebrate its 8th birthday, so now it is time for a small recap. At 12:30 I welcomed a group of about 20 people for the event coming mostly from Southern Germany, but with Ewoud Kohl van Wijngaarden coming down from the Netherlands we had again at least one international guest. Afterwards we started with the hands-on session. This session was planned as a completely open session, so some discussions and hacking started while...
Wie sich einige vielleicht erinnern, hatte ich vor ein paar Wochen zur Feier zum 7. Geburtstag des Foreman-Projekt eingeladen. Nun möchte ich den in meinen Augen gelungenen Event Review passieren lassen. Mehr oder weniger pünktlich hat sich ein Teilnehmer-Kreis von 20 Leuten (zu Spitzenzeiten) eingefunden, der auch einige Mitglieder des Foreman-Teams umfasst hat. Besonders erwähnenswert sind hier Greg Sutcliffe, der es sich nicht nehmen lies als Community Manager aus Schottland...
