"LISA is the conference that I send my system administrators to so they can bring the latest tools and techniques back to the rest of the team. Much of our current environment can be traced directly back to LISA."

CentOS Dojo Seattle

LISA: Where systems engineering and operations professionals share real-world knowledge about designing, building, and maintaining the critical systems of our interconnected world.

The LISA conference has long served as the annual vendor-neutral meeting place for the wider system administration community. The LISA14 program recognized the overlap and differences between traditional and modern IT operations and engineering, and developed a highly-curated program around 5 key topics: Systems Engineering, Security, Culture, DevOps, and Monitoring/Metrics. The program included 22 half- and full-day training sessions; 10 workshops; and a conference program consisting of 50 invited talks, panels, refereed paper presentations, and mini-tutorials.

Join us for the CentOS Dojo Seattle, co-located at LISA14!

The CentOS Dojos are one-day events organized around the world that bring together people from the CentOS Communities to talk about systems administration, best practices in Linux-centric activities, and emerging technologies of note. The emphasis is to find local speakers and tutors to come together and talk about things that they care about most, and to share stories from their experiences working with CentOS in various scenarios. Additional details can be found at the CentOS Dojo Seattle Wiki Page

Speakers

David Nalley

CI environment scaling — How we implemented Jenkins, jclouds and cloudstack with CentOS to create on-demand build slaves for our CI environment.

Michael Stahnke

DevOps Isn’t Just for WebOps: The Guerrilla’s Guide to Cultural Change — Culturally, you can win a DevOps ground war. In this talk we’ll discuss changes to team and culture that can move your organization forward. We’ll consider a reactive team mired in fire-fighting and incapable of making headway, then watch as change that betters the team’s output and perception throughout the organization is slowly introduced. We’ll cover root-cause analysis efforts, bringing pain forward, experimentation, and selling automation and DevOps tooling to management. This talk will not focus on tools, but rather procedural and cultural improvements that can make your operations team better.

Stephen Smoogen

The EPEL Phoenix Saga — Stephen Smoogen, noted myligant on the history of Red Hat Linux and Fedora, will present an extremely biased talk about the Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux (EPEL) repository. This talk will cover EPEL's beginnings, its scandals, how it has grown into titanic proportions and how those issues have come back to haunt the very existence of the repository. From there, we will finish up with how you, the CentOS system administrator, can best help EPEL meet your needs and how you can help others meet theirs. REMARK: Warning to the feint of heart, repotags will be discussed.

Jim Perrin

Docker in the Distro — What we're currently doing with Docker in CentOS, and what we plan to do with Docker in the future. We'll cover various use-cases, as well as how to deal the hype around docker, and keeping calm in the face of unbridled developer enthusiasm.

There is no cost to attend the Dojo.
