The third and last day of the OSMC 2021 concludes the event for the year and, appropriatly, it is rather calm. Where the other days were full of talks, today only two events took place. Due to the smaller number of participants these take place in the NETWAYS / Icinga office space and bring back some life to rooms, which were rather empty in the last year. Hackathon In the container ecosystem, Kubernetes is an important player and worth taking a look at. Deploying, scaling and maintaining...
After an extremely successful and excellently planned evening event yesterday, the second day of the OSMC 2021 started today. Apart from the people who had to leave already, or those who still had to recover from the boozy late lounge, the first two talks were well attended. Toshaan Bharvani with "Monitoring Open Source Hardware" and Denys Kondratenko with "pg_stat_monitor: A cool extension for better database (PostgeSQL) monitoring" took the lead. Jakob Semere then presented their open source...
It's time for OSMC again and contrary to recent event experiences, it is in presence with real people! And it is nice for a change! A full program offers much input to the visitors and showcases the things people created or changed since the last OSMC. After the cordial greeting by Bernd, the talks started. A small selection of these I will mention here. On the bleeding edge of... "On the bleeding edge of Open Telemetry" was the topic of Philipp Krenns talk. The growing complexity of current...
Meet the faces behind stackconf stackconf online 2021 is over. It was successfull once again and we're happy everything has been gone as planned. For this we would like to thank anyone who was involved in the organizational process of our online conference this year. In the following we give you an impression of how it looked like behind the scenes. Our awesome moderators If you were part of stackconf you certainly know these two faces. Christian and Bernd were moderating the conference for...
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...
