Bay Area Apache Aurora Users: The Apache Aurora community is organizing a getting started workshop/unconference to bootstrap potential users who are interested in running the Mesos scheduler but would like extra instruction and feedback. Plus, the project is now building official deb and rpm packages that we'd love for you to test out!
Join us for this afternoon workshop, taking place from 1pm-5pm on Tuesday, September 15th. Afterwards we'll migrate to a nearby bar for drinks and we hope you'll join us. Registration: Available via our meetup.com group: http://www.meetup.com/Bay-Area-Apache-Aurora-Users-Group/events/225070323/, with a limited number of seats available so register soon. Workshop Format / What to Expect: Several topics will be presented, including • Basic state of the project and update on upcoming features (REST API, etc) • Walk attendees through running Aurora locally • Presentation of basics for deploying Aurora in production >From this point we'll open up to attendees, and based upon their skill levels, questions, and experience break into smaller groups/conversations to focus on getting them started. We hope to have a healthy ratio of experienced Aurora developers and newbies, so there should be opportunities to learn from experienced users. Who Should Attend? Anyone who is curious about Mesos and running Apache Aurora. You may have tried Aurora in the past and run into some issues, or perhaps you just learned about the project. We'll cover basic topics, but our hope is that the unconference format will allow us to have more-advanced discussions as well. Location: Downtown San Francisco, we hope to announce this location shortly but it will be accessible via public transportation.
