Rusell and Peter, thank you so much!

This provides more than enough for a great session.

Based on Russell's input I am going to pick Monitoring  as the theme for the month of September.

Maybe we can use this theme for the September workshop too. What do you think @Russell?

Peter's suggestion immediately reminded me of the so-called "F*up nights". Now, let me give you the context!

"Fuckup Nights is a global movement and event series that shares stories of professional failure. Each month, in events across the globe, we get three to four people to get up in front of a room full of strangers to share their own professional fuckup. The stories of the business that crashes and burns, the partnership deal that goes sour, the product that has to be recalled, we tell them all."

So, what I am hearing is basically a f*up night for IT professionals (as opposed to businesses and startups)

Hi everyone, maybe not exactly a speech topic, more curiosity about
"real life experience" of IT professionals.

E.g., last week I went to a datacentre to install new hardware, and
the only other person working there (besides security and datacentre
staff) was a white-haired man with a beard. I wonder whether every IT
person younger than 40 has not seen a datacentre and has all in the
cloud?

What kind of stuff you work with? How much feels fresh and trendy, how
much oldies you have to work with? Does your workplace have cool new
stuff, or do you keep COBOL programs on live support?

I do not know how much one wants to give away without embarrassing his
employer, though.. So, I am not sure how much we should share..

Let me know what you think. Maybe even: "How much can we share today?"
would be interesting;-)

Cheers
Peter
