Re: [Hampshire] [ADMIN] February meeting
I am interested in attending. Can you provide details of where this is... I don't know the area at all as I'm new to it.

[Hampshire] [ADMIN] February meeting
Hi guys, This month's meeting will be on Saturday 1st Feb at QinetiQ Haslar starting at 1pm. I know this is the same day as the SoMakeIt opening, but hopefully there is enough flexibility for those who wish to get to both meetings to make it. This month we have a talk from Keith Edmunds. He'll be discussing using Linux in small business, and giving an idea about how he uses Linux in his IT consultancy. As usual for meetings at QinetiQ, please e-mail me before midnight on Thursday if you wish to attend and I'll make sure you're on the list. Hope to see you there, Cheers, Tim B. -- Hampshire Linux User Group Chairman -- Please post to: Hampshire@mailman.lug.org.uk Web Interface: https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/hampshire LUG URL: http://www.hantslug.org.uk --
[Hampshire] [off...@ukuug.org: [UKUUG-Announce] UKUUG - FLOSS UK - Additional Google Workshop announced!!!]
Hi, May be of interest to some. - Forwarded message from Jane Morrison - Date: Tue, 28 Jan 2014 09:27:37 + From: Jane Morrison Subject: [UKUUG-Announce] UKUUG - FLOSS UK - Additional Google Workshop announced!!! Google Workshop - Tuesday 18th March - Brighton Additional workshop just announced!!! Full day Workshop - costs will be: £85 inc. vat Individual / Academic members £110 inc. vat Corporate members We need at least 12 bookings for this workshop to proceed (Google requirement) - Intentions are only necessary at this stage - Please email me direct (off...@ukuug.org) if you would like to secure a place. Regards, Jane Title: Large-scale System Design. Abstract: Truly large-scale systems are still rare, and in a world of out-sourcing, and cloud-computing, it's harder for System Administrators to get the opportunity to design large systems. It's even harder to get the design right. Most organisations don't have the in-house expertise to build a large system, so outsource the detailed design to external contractors. If your organisation doesn't have the expertise to design a large system, it's unlikely that it has the expertise to confirm a proposal is fit for purpose and cost effective. While anyone can wave their hands convincingly, and come up with a rough outline of a large distributed system, those who can also fill in the detail are highly prized. This class will teach you how to design software systems like Imgur and Twitter, then estimate the hardware needed to ensure you can deliver to a hard SLA. You will learn how requirements like queries-per-second, multi-site reliability, and data security impact the cost of implementation. This will not cover concurrent programming and the software-engineering side of distributed systems. Who should attend: System administrators, SREs and DevOps who have some familiarity of distributed systems, server hardware and systems programming, especially those who would like to work with, procure or build large distributed systems. Take back to work: How to design large distributed systems, how to evaluate design proposals and how to explain such designs to third parties. Topics include: - ● Design patterns for large distributed systems - ● Monitoring large scale systems - ● Large-scale design workshop & presentations - ● Non-abstract design; taking a design, and producing a 'bill of materials' - ● Designing to fail; how to work around rack, networking and datacenter failures. -- FLOSS UK Secretariat www.flossuk.org www.ukuug.org - End forwarded message - -- Adam Trickett Overton, HANTS, UK A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both. -- Dwight D.
