Sounds like a good combination for a geeky weekend.</p> <p>Apart from the regular talks there were plenty of Open Spaces where interesting topics were discussed ... we had spaces on Open Source vs Open Core , strong voices were heard when we discussed what we should do with the Open Core companies that claim to value Open Source , some people think we should actually list the fauxpensource ones somewhere and make sure the world knows about them</p> <p>We had an awesome configuration management discussion session discussing Chef vs Puppet vs CFengine . And much much more ...</p> <p>Some people owe me plenty of Sushi as I had to do my MySQL HA talk before their Managing MySQL talk , but other than that .. things just went fine..</p> http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog/linux-open-administration-days-2010#comments cfengine chef conference devops ha load loadays mysql mysql ha puppet Tue, 20 Apr 2010 19:43:05 +0000 Kris Buytaert 998 at http://127.0.0.1:8080/blog
