i've been attending the terena tf-noc session in dublin last week with 
my icinga hat on, and best will be to have those slides with me, but 
still doing the short version (original presentation was 1,5 hours). 
plus some discussions where to head at, like already talked with Michael 
this morning/afternoon. as well as interesting stuff from tf-noch 
meeting, if any.

more on the tf-noc meeting here: 
http://www.terena.org/activities/tf-noc/meeting6/programme.html (slides too)

plus there's a special icinga demo vm built by myself for tf-noc, if you 
are interested downloading in advance - at the bottom 
https://confluence.terena.org/display/NOC/Script+library
i'm sure i will speak a little about that as well ;)

yay, would be awesome :)

(i probably won't have any excuse not to join either, as $work is 
located @ebendorferstrasse ;-))

see you next week,
Michael

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.
