Call for ideas and topics for the September main meeting
Hey all! Been a while since our last LUV meeting. I am in the process of planning for September and given it will be the first time we are running a LUV main meeting online, we can be creative about the format. Any thoughts or ideas are welcome! Also, what topics should we discuss? Do you have a topic you like to hear about? Even better, do you have a topic you would like to talk about? The event will be held next Tuesday, September the 1st. Feel free to reply to this*, *or send an email to the committee ( luv-ctte@luv.asn.au) Thanks! + Alexar -- [image: image.jpg] *Alexar Pendashteh* technologist / social entrepreneur https://github.com/pendashteh

https://doc.coker.com.au/projects/etbe-mon/ I can give a lecture about my etbemon monitoring system. I can also run hands-on workshops on setting up emulated PPC and S390X machines on Debian running Debian. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
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 On Thu, Aug 27, 2020 at 7:37 PM Russell Coker via luv-main <luv-main@luv.asn.au> wrote:

*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) + Alexar On Thu, Aug 27, 2020 at 9:32 PM Peter Ross <petrosssit@gmail.com> wrote:
