Time: 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Location: Omniture, Inc. Building H this month.

PLUG:

I apologize for getting this out so late! Be sure to come. This is going to be a great presentation. Dan manages over 15,000 Linux servers. You may not have that many, but the lessons learned can help anyone who is using Linux as a server (from few to many). From Dan:

During the last 10 years of system administration I have been involved in a number of data center migrations and build-outs. As these projects came and went I began to see patterns emerge in the set of services and software required to run a successful operations infrastructure. This presentation will describe these patterns, and provide an overview of the Open Source software available to implement them.

About Dan:
Dan Hanks has been involved with Linux System administration since 1998, when he worked for EagleNet Online, a small ISP in Provo, which, in a sense, was the birthplace of PLUG. After EagleNet he worked as a systems and database administrator for Nothsky/About.com/Primedia/United Online and is currently a system administrator for Omniture. He has varied interests, ranging from computers and technology to astronomy, geology, music, art, and family history research. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from BYU, and is the father of 4 adventuresome children. He (occasionally) blogs at http://brainshed.com, and tweets as @danhanks.

Food will be provided by Omniture. See you all there!
