-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So, only one table for us this year, but better than none ! Fosdem is getting too big now :-) See you there - -------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Your stand proposal for FOSDEM 2016 has been accepted Date: Mon, 14 Dec 2015 19:54:55 +0000 From: FOSDEM Stands Team <stands(a)fosdem.org> To: Fabian <arrfab(a)centos.org> Hi Fabian, The FOSDEM stands team is glad to be able to inform you that your request for a stand for 'CentOS Project' has been accepted. There will be one table reserved for you. Like most years, we received roughly twice as many requests for stands as we have tables available. We have aimed to grant as many requests as feasible and to increase the diversity of the accepted stands. Because of this, we have unfortunately had to reduce the space available for a number of regular attendees, as well as reject some projects that have been present in previous years years. You will receive further information about what's expected of you closer to the event date. Looking forward to seeing you at FOSDEM 2016! Kind regards, Wynke Stulemeijer FOSDEM stands team -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.22 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlZvIl0ACgkQnVkHo1a+xU5T6QCfTnqelNaqsYVlKMzJv24xOEC4 jCMAn0+FZ4rYSrRPX0cCvmlmyVlMybpC =tsfZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

For CentOS Dojo before Fosdem -- Path from Software Collections to Containers for OpenShift
by Honza Horak 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

A talk suggestion for the CentOS Dojo, Developer track: Path from Software Collections to Containers for OpenShift Container technologies bring many new challenges to every part of software engineering, from application developers, administrators to maintainers in Linux distributions. Let's take a look at the process of writing, building, delivering and running Docker containers in the world of enterprise system. To be it more interesting, we do not use ordinary packages for building container images, we use Software Collections, because it brings some benefits for both those technologies. The talk will cover best practices we have identified during preparation of container images for databases and various language platforms. In the end we provide set of container images that are usable as standalone services, services orchestrated using kubernetes or even PaaS like OpenShift. Length: 40-60 min, including Q&A Speaker: Honza has worked in Red Hat and is mainly responsible for delivering and keeping databases in a good shape. He also actively participates in Software Collections development with special focus on containers development. In CentOS community he is heavily involved in Software Collections SIG where he works on delivering this concept to CentOS users. http://themindiseverything.eu/ https://twitter.com/HorakHonza https://plus.google.com/u/0/+HonzaHorakCzech

CfP Brussels 2016: Relax-and-Recover simplifies Linux Disaster Recovery
by Gratien D'haese 15 Dec '15

15 Dec '15

*Call for Paper submission for CentOS Dojo Brussels 2016.* *Title*: Relax-and-Recover simplifies Linux Disaster Recovery *Speaker*: Gratien D'haese, IT3 Consultants, Belgium *Abstract*: Linux Disaster Recovery exercises are not every day tasks and most system engineers lack real-time experience how to practice them. This talk will describe the basic knowledge about disaster recovery (DR) and Business Continuity (BC) and will go deeper into the different aspects of each. However, we will also show you how to start up DR plan and explain some handy tools, such as Relax and Recover (rear) so you can get started and being prepared. We will dive into Relax-and-Recover (rear), which has a modular disaster recovery engine completely written in bash and released under GPL v2 license. Rear can store the details about your systems on disk (NAS, USB, SAN,...) or network (PXE, NFS, CIFS,...) including the complete backup. It also creates a bootable image which you need to execute a bare metal restore. Furthermore, thanks to the modular concept, we can integrate rear with external backup solutions (commercial or open source) to do the backup and restore part which makes rear very scalable in big enterprises. Rear scales even with Cloud solutions and is the heart of another great project (drlm or disaster recovery linux manager). *Biography*: Gratien D'haese is a Belgian independent IT Consultant who is already 27 years active in the Unix world (and with Linux since its invention in 1991). Gratien is quite active in the Unix/Linux Open Source world and is giving talks around various topics since the days of the Belgian UNIX Users Group and other organizations promoting Unix/Linux and the Open Source movement. On occasions he talks about his projects on conferences, such as at Fosdem, LinuxTag, T-Dose, and LOAD with talks around Relax-and-Recover, IPv6, adhocr. Gratien is the co-founder and main designer of Relax-and-Recover (rear) together with Schlomo Schapiro (from Germany). This project started in 2006 and the software is part of Fedora, RHEL 7.2, EPEL and SLES HA - [http://relax-and-recover.org/] Gratien is also involved with other Open Source projects, such as "Make CD-ROM Recovery (mkcdrec)", upgrade-ux, WBEMextras, adhocr, Config2HTML, SANmigration, sgesap_validation, c4 and criux. *Various*: You can find previous (recorded) presentations of me under the events tabs of Relax and Recover website [http://relax-and-recover.org/events/] best regards, Gratien D'haese IT3 Consultants bvba Vennestraat 15, B-2560 Nijlen E-mail: gratien.dhaese(a)it3.be URL: http://www.it3.be/

For CentOS Dojo -- Cockpit: The Linux admin interface
by Stef Walter 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

Here's a talk suggestion for CentOS Dojo, Sysadmin track: Cockpit: The Linux admin interface Cockpit is the missing Linux server admin interface. It's discoverable, and reduces the learning curve for new Linux sysadmins. It also makes complex tasks simple and routine for anyone, expert or not. Cockpit runs in your browser. We'll talk about how it's designed to be on by default, it's zero footprint, starts on demand, and has low server side dependencies. We'll look at how to use Cockpit on your CentOS systems, how Cockpit can run over your SSH port, on otherwise firewalled systems. The talk will also look at how Cockpit supplements other server management tools. You can still use the terminal, scripts, or configuration management along-side Cockpit. There are demos included, and you can follow along on your own machines. Speaker: Stef Walter Stef Walter has contributed to over 100 different open source projects. Most recently Cockpit has been his focus. He lives in Germany, wears a hat, and works at Red Hat. Length: 1 hour

*Call for Paper submission for CentOS Dojo Brussels 2016* *Title:* - Atomic Developer Bundle - Containerized development made easy *Speakers:* - Brian Exelbierd, Red Hat, Czech Republic - Navid Shaikh, Red Hat, India *Abstract:* The Atomic Developer bundle (ADB) [1] is a development environment for containers from the same people that are bringing you the Atomic Host. The ADB is growing to help you create containers for use with Docker, orchestrators like Kubernetes, PaaS platforms like OpenShift and Mesos. In this presentation, Navid and Brian will demonstrate how the ADB works with host-based tools and IDEs on Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X and how you can kickstart development on Kubernetes, OpenShift, etc on a preconfigured Vagrant box. The talk will cover the capabilities provided by the Atomic Developer Bundle and ecosystem of client side tools that can leverage the capabilities and provide smooth user experience for containerized development. Learn how to use it, how we built it, and how you can make it better. *Bio:* *Brian Exelbierd:* Brian Exelbierd has over 13 years of experience in IT/IS ranging from programming to team leadership and business roles. He has worked for non-profits, for-profits and government. Brian joined Red Hat in 2014 to work on platform technologies and containers.
