John> I received only 5 positive responses to a talk on Configuration John> Mangement Systems in general and DACS in particular, so John> obviously there is no sense in presenting a talk on that.
I'm very interested in others who have setup cfengine/puppet/etc at their site, esp with other Admins who aren't big on using it at first. Selling it is key... John> So what talks do interest the BBLISA members? John> Designing a good resume to land a job? Sure, but I just use my old LaTeX one and polish up as needed. :] John> Performance improvement with ITIL, Six Sigma and LEAN? God, ITIL and Six Sigma. Don't get me started.... John> Trouble ticketing systems? Loved RT 1.0.7... the 2.x series wasn't as good, haven't been able to get away from the horror of 'GWIsoft' on Lotus Notes at $WORK. Sucks to be me... John> Use of wiki's in IT? Maybe suggesting a good low wall wiki would be good. Esp one I could stuff from a CLI with a plain text document. I personally *hate* any text editor other than emacs, just because I know how to move around efficiently in emacs. Other editors just get in my way and slow me down. As does any stupid Javascript web editor. Grrrrrrrrr..... John> What topics other than those above do you want? Deploying Splunk. Care and feeding of Legato orq CommVault backup software and all it's fun bag of tricks. John> Also is MIT not a good place to hold meetings? Should venuses in John> other areas, metro-west (waltham/arlington/lexington), south, John> north be considered to get more people to attend? Well... I'm located out in the worcester area, so MIT is just painful for me to get to, esp with two small kids at home. Something much farther west would help, but then again I don't make my local Linux group meetings either. :[ Time is my enemy.
