Well, it’s that time again, time for LinuxWorld San Francisco.
Well, it’s that time again, time for LinuxWorld San Francisco. I’ll be arriving on Monday and posting an important blog post (hint) on Wednesday from the show. If you’re around, please feel free to ping me (email/twitter) and perhaps we can meet face to face. I’m also going to try and get Mark Hinkle from Zenoss to set up a BoF with me on open source systems management. Perhaps we can discuss the 451 Group report on “Managing in the Open: The Next Wave of Systems Management” among other topics now being hotly discussed in the community in the right forum; out in the open. Either way, I’m excited by the opportunity to meet more of you at the show, and looking forward to another trip to the Bay Area.
