Elizabeth Krumbach and I are presenting tomorrow night in Chinatown. Please
join us.
The Ubuntu Developer's Summit is coming up May 7-11 too.
http://uds.ubuntu.com I encourage anyone interested in the next version of
Ubuntu in October to participate. This conference changes location in
Europe and the US each time. I am greatful we are hosting it in the Bay
Area next month. People like Mark Shuttleworth are coming from all over the
world to participate. Remote participation is also encouraged but I
encourage anyone that is interested to attend at least one day to see what
it is like.
Cheers,
Grant

Corey Quinn: Salt[1]. Configuration Management and Remote
Execution at Scale
Corey Quinn has been finding new and better ways to be lazy via
configuration management since discovering that "ssh in a for loop"
didn't scale. He's a volunteer for the freenode[2] IRC[3]
network, and splits his time between Los Angeles and San Francisco,
where he's the director of systems operations at Expensify.com[4],
helping make expense reports not suck.
