preface notes: I stuck the URL back together (looks like it had gotten folded), and at least based upon last year, I don't think there's a particularly "hard stop" at, or at least shortly after 7:00 P.M., but that might be a bit different 30/60/120/??? minutes later. ----- Forwarded message from Peter Mui <pmui@groundworkopensource.com> ----- Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2006 10:55:23 -0700 From: Peter Mui <pmui@groundworkopensource.com> Reply-To: Peter Mui <pmui@groundworkopensource.com> Subject: Announce LinuxWorld "Monitoring All Stars" BoF to BALUG? (and others) Hi Michael, here's a revised BoF announcement. ------------------------------------------------------- At LinuxWorld: BoF: Network, Device, and Environment Monitoring Wednesday, 08/16/2006, 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM Free with LinuxWorld exhibits pass Informal "meet and greet" reception at GroundWork's offices after the BoF Speakers: Ian Berry, Project Lead, Cacti Kees Cook, Project Lead, Sendpage Matt Massie, Project Lead, Ganglia Tobi Oetiker, Project Lead, RRDtool, MRTG, Smokeping Remo Rickli, Project Lead, NeDi It'll be a follow-on to a conference session earlier in the day (BP4); unfortunately people will need a full conference pass to attend that ($$$). Here's that URL: http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/live/12/events/12SFO06A/conference/tracksessio... A roundtable on open source tools for network and server monitoring and management, we'll briefly discuss the the state of the IT management tools industry -- both commercial and Open Source. The project leads for ganglia, Cacti, rrdtool, MRTG, NeDi, and Smokeping will present briefly on their tools and answer questions. Finally, we'll describe an approach that integrates multiple open source tools to create a comprehensive Network Monitoring solution. ------------------------------------------------------- I haven't found out from LinuxWorld yet if there's a hard stop at 7PM; either way: everyone's invited back to GroundWork's offices at 139 Townsend St. (one block from AT&T Park) afterwards to mingle and continue the discussion. Thanks, and feel free to contact me anytime with questions.
