[Devops] Topics next devops meetup

[Maciej Pasternacki]

Hi guys,

Meetup is next Tuesday (June 19th).

I was just writing an email about (lack of) topic for the meetup. Pulling something out of our sleeves would be a good thing :) but I can do the pulling.

Aaron - a demo and overview would be nice!

Michael - workshop would be GREAT, and LXC is something I'd personally like to see up closer. It looks like a perfect kind of virtualization for automated tests of infrastructure. We'll pick a date for next meetup on Tuesday.

Re topic - I was going to propose something more process-oriented this time. Recently I've been reading up a bit on how other complicated industries operate, inspired by Atul Gawande's "Checklist Manifesto" (which I highly recommend, BTW). There is some precious stuff out there in aircraft industry, medicine, NASA, and so on. The human factors research and technique development has been already done and paid for, and the results are available.

There is surprisingly large amount of overlap and insight when you read papers on management & operational techniques operating an aircraft. Come on, they got equivalent of software industry's "pair programming" decades ago, with basically same reasons! They are far ahead of us.

I won't be able to prepare a proper presentation (this would require a lot of research), but I can do a presentation sketch as a starting point for a discussion.

Interested? Any thoughts on that?
