"CTL" Enterprise Project Management
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

CTL is a new open source project for enterprise management, written
in Java, but with bindings to Python, Perl, Ruby, shell, Javascript,
and more. CTL is not an acronym; think of what 'apachectl' does for
the Apache webserver, and imagine what such a tool might do for your
entire enterprise and you've got CTL.

About the Speaker:

Alex Honor is open source project lead and principle architect at
ControlTier. Formerly, he was head of E*trade system engineering, and
carried them from dot boom to dot bomb and has been specializing in
cradle to grave distributed enterprise software management ever since.

Puppet Systems Management Tool
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 9:00 pm

Still using ssh in a for loop to manage server clusters? Rewriting the entire hard drive of hundreds of workstations just to tweak one setting? Managing your systems by hand? Having trouble keeping up with all the changes to all the systems? Maybe it's time to try something new.

Puppet is a system for automating system administration tasks. Puppet is also a declarative language for expressing system configuration, a client and server for distributing it, and a library for realizing the configuration.

Huh? In other words, you edit files in a nice readable language and magically the right things change in the right order on all the right systems. It's like your systems configure themselves.

LTSP: Raiders of the Lost Mainframe
Start: 7:30 pm
End: 8:45 pm


In the beginning there were only the mainframes. Administration only
required configuration of one system. Users accessed the mainframe from
dumb terminals. Everyone had access to the same resources and had the same
software, because everyone was on the same system. Then came the personal
computer. Users all got their own systems, and system administration
became exponentially more difficult. LTSP gives us a way to get the
terminal server, singular administration and control we admins want and
still give users the warm fuzzy interface, speed and freedom they want.
One system, one set of updates, one place to make changes. We're going to
look in to some of the history of LTSP, overview the technology involved,
and some of the many potential applications. Finally we'll look at the
best way to implement LTSP, and how its working in production in our
corporate environment.
