DESCRIPTION:Every wonder about all this hype around Ruby on Rails?  Why everyone is t
 alking about it?   What is that Rails thing all about?\nRails is a full-s
 tack framework for developing database-backed web applications according t
 o the Model-View-Control pattern.  Spoken plainly\, this means an applica
 tion framework that makes it very quick to develop a new web application\, v
 ery easy to extend an existing application\, and makes long term maintena
 nce of  these applications extremely clear and simple.\nSean Dague will b
 e presenting getting started with Ruby on Rails. This will include devel
 oping a simple web application from scratch to show some of the basic pr
 inciples of working with Ruby on Rails.\nThe presentation will also demo
 nstrate how to use Ruby on Rails to work with legacy systems\, and show a n
 umber of applications and source code built on top of Rails written by S
 ean.

DESCRIPTION:Have you been reading the news lately and been wondering what clouds ha
 ve to do with computing? Have you gotten lost in the fog of buzzwords an
 d marketing speak surrounding cloud computing? What does it all mean and w
 hat does it have to do with a company which started by selling books?\nC
 loud computing (and in part EC2) is one of the great shifts in the compu
 ting industry and it is happening today. Servers of all sizes can be bro
 ught into existence and thrown away at a whim\, with just a few simple we
 b API calls and for a few cents per hour. Best of all\, Linux is what pow
 ers and runs it all.\nSean O'Connor will be providing a quick overview o
 f what cloud computing is/means/can so as well as and introduction to Am
 azon's Linux based cloud computing offering\, EC2. Concepts will be expla
 ined for all to understand and an entire cluster of virtual computers wi
 ll be created and destroyed before a live audience. Some time will even b
 e given to discuss the future cloud computing\, local and hybrid clouds.\n\n P
 resentation \nA video of the presentation can be viewed at vimeo.  The s
 lides are available as a PDF.\nUPDATE  Some people have reported problem
 s playing back the vimeo link\, you can now also download the source vide

DESCRIPTION:Puppet is an open source systems management policy engine for Linux/Uni
 x systems. Put simply\, with puppet you create a policy for a machine (or c
 lass of machines) that describes what the machine should look like\, and p
 uppet ensures that it always is in that state. With this new way of look
 ing at managing you systems you can quickly automate out much of the bor
 ing aspects of administration\, and make it much easier to bring new syst
 ems on line to known configurations.\n\nThe talk will cover the basics o
 f Puppet\, using the example of the IBM OpenSim Grid as an implementation. T
 he meeting should be highly interactive\, and hopefully give you a new se
 t of tools for doing systems administration.\n\n\n
