Meet at HPE TSS next week

Last year, due to health problems I had to cancel my participation at last minute to the HPE TSS event. Hopefully, this year I’ll be back again ! Becasue the latest results of my scanner passed last week are as good as they could be: no cancer cells remaining or re-detected, as it was the case both in june and september 2018. So I’ll be able to come back to work full time end of march as planned, but meanwhile, I’ll be working only at 100% 😉

As usual I’ll deliver multiple sessions around various topics, because that’s fun to do ! (well preparation is less fun, but delivery is, so I know I’ll keep only that in mind afterwards ;-))

So I’ll be in Paris from the 116th to the 15th of March, and if you happen to attend and want to talk with me, you should be able to find me at:

• Redfish Implementation at HPE – IB179 – 11/03/19 (Monday) 16:00 – W02
• Linux Roadmap – Followed by OpenSource Round Table – IB173 – 11/03/19 (Monday) 17:00 – W02
• Lab RPM Packaging – L100 – 12/03/19 (Tuesday) 14:00 – Lab 2
• Containers for HPC – B121 – 13/03/19 (Wednesday) 09:30 – W07
• Redfish: Standard status – B194 – 14/03/19 (Thursday) 08:30 – W05
• Learning Python with Redfish – L105 – 14/03/19 (Thursday) 14:00 – Lab 3
• OpenSource Open Labs – OL61 – 15/03/19 (Friday) 11:00 – Lab 4

Well, not too bad for a poor old and ill guy 😉 But except for the Labs, I’m not alone to prepare and deliver, so makes it easier for once. So as usual if you want to talk FLOSS, projects I’m involved in, FLOSSCon 2020 or anything else, feel free to join and chat with me !

Début du Festival Transfo

Ca y est, le Festival Transfo a démarré sur Grenoble avec la soirée d’ouverture qui vient d’avoir lieu. J’ai été déçu par l’analyse fumeuse du philosophe invité. Pour un homme étudiant la sagesse, juger du label Territoire Numérique Libre de l’ADULLACT sur la beauté du logo est fort décevant 😦 Et que conclure de son intervention ? En fait rien pour moi, alors qu’il y aurait plein de choses à souligner. L’analogie entre les Bezos/Zuckerberg d’aujourd’hui avec les Médicis de la Renaissance, quoique séduisante, ne résiste pas à l’analyse fouillée. Les nouveaux ne subventionnent pas les arts, ne recherchent pas à développer le beau, à s’entourer des meilleurs artistes de leur temps et les soutenir dans leurs activités. Ils ne font pas construire palais et chapelle qui doivent leur survivre pour témoigner de leur importance. Ils sont hélas beaucoup plus égocentriques que leur référence renaissance supposée. Ils ne s’impliquent pas en politique ou en religion, car n’ont pas vraiment de vue humaniste, juste une envie de pouvoir. Mais le pourquoi faire reste nébuleux, hormis l’enrichissement.

Les deux autres présentations auxquelles j’ai assisté étaient bien mieux venues, et pertinentes quant aux liens entre numérique et société, avec F. Bordage sur l’éco/green IT et la sobriété numérique (approprié mais pas assez approfondi, par manque de temps alloué) et M. Dojat qui a vulgarisé l’utilisation de l’IA dans le secteur médical et décrit les progrès et limites des machines dans l’aide au diagnostic (passionné et passionnant avec un bon recul sur l’utilisation du Machine Learning rare chez un médecin !)

Mais le meilleur du festival reste à venir !!

Dès demain venez nous retrouver à HPE pour une journée sur l’impact du numérique dans un monde en accélération permanente. Vous pourrez y discuter avec des startups ou des employés HPE sur ce que nous faisons ensemble autour de l’IA et l’Edge Computing (et venez même si vous ne comprenez pas ce que cela veut dire, car on vous expliquera justement !). Et si vous voulez discuter logiciels libres, passez me voir dans la zone démo, j’y serai entre 11h et 17h15. On pourra causer Gouvernance, Communautés, Docker, Mageia, MondoRescue, Continuous Packaging ou tout autre sujet dans mes cordes 😉

Et si vous voulez approfondir ce sujet, l’association FLOSSITA vous offre 3 journées complètes pour faire le tour de l’usage des technologies numériques libres pour le grand public, l’entreprise ou le secteur public lors de la FLOSSCon 2019. C’est libre ET gratuit ! Et même les philosophes pourront y apprendre plein de choses pour augmenter leur sagesse 😉

Le programme startup d’HPE

Je parle rarement de ce que fait HPE, mais cette initiative est intéressante, française (voyez-vous un lien de cause à effet 😉 et peut aider des startup du libre, donc n’hésitez pas à postuler au nouveau programme Startup d’HPE !

 

Et si vous êtes dans le secteur FLOSS, je serai volontiers parrain de votre initiative ce qui nous permettra de parler de gouvernance, licences, technologie ou autre dans ce domaine !

 

Ne tardez pas, vous avez jusqu’au 12 février pour candidater.

Time to Meet at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Technology & Solutions Summit 2017 !

It’s time again for me to prepare the HPE TSS designed for our presales and channel partners, with some of our the best experts to transfer knowledge on everything HPE !

We have again this year a track dedicated to Open Source and Linux !).

So I’ll be in Cannes from the 6th to the 10th of February to cover:

• B90 HPE’s Open Source Strategy – Auditorium K – Tuesday 7th of February 2017 – 5:30PM-6:20PM
• L30-R1 Docker 101 Tutorial – Lab 1 – Wednesday 8th of February 2017 – 8:30AM-10:20AM
• B91 Docker @ HPE – Ambassadeurs B – Wednesday 8th of February 2017 – 12:00AM-12:50AM
• L31 Docker Orchestration Tutorial – Lab 1 – Thursday 9th of February 2017 – 8:30AM-10:20AM
• B94 Docker: technology aspects and tools – Redaction 1 – Thursday 9th of February 2017 – 3:00PM-3:50PM
• L30-R2 Docker 101 Tutorial – Lab 3 – Thursday 9th of February 2017 – 4:30PM-6:20PM
• B92 Linux Distributions roadmap – Redaction 3 – Friday 10th of February 2017 – 8:30AM-9:20AM
• B6 HPE RESTful API and the Redfish standard – Espace Californie – Friday 10th of February 2017 – 12:00AM-12:50AM

Pretty busy week no ?! And you should be able to replay the labs/tutorials on Wednesday afternoon during the OpenLab session in Lab 1.

A lot of sessions are covering Docker related topics this year, and I’m happy with thatas it’s a great techno, even more with the recently announced 1.13 bringing service support to docker-compose !

For those of you wondering why project-builder.org and MondoRescue versions are not published more regularly, that gives you again a hint 😉 Not speaking of the travel for 2 weeks starting the week after this one, and the next event in March in Grenoble, TES, where I’m part of the Event team and that we’ll organize for the 8th time.

See you there to talk of these subjects or something else as you see fit. I’m around the whole week.

Meet at the Paris Open Source Summit

Ok, you see, I’m late ! Not only in producing new versions of software but also to make this type of single announce 😦 But it’s cloudy these days, that may explain that;-) So after having presented during the DACH OpenStack day in Berlin, I’m today (!) leading again this year the Cloud track at the Paris Open Source Summit with great speakers such as Christophe Sauthier (Objectif Libre) who won a POSS award yesterday, Bruno Gillet (Red Hat) who had already a session last year and Julien Corioland and Pascal Sauliere (Microsoft) whom I’m curious to hear about MS’ FLOSS strategy !

So come in Room Grèce at 1:30PM if you want to follow that 2 hour session. Or tomorrow in the main conference room at 11:35AM as I’ll animate a round table around OpenStack Coopetition with again Christophe Sauthier (Objectif Libre) (not just because he won a price, because he has interesting stuff to share about leading CloudKitty !), Patrick Petit (Mirantis), who knows a lot on integration work on OpenStack, and Julien Niedergang (SUSE) who is at the heart of a downstream distribution work with OpenStack.

And last but not least, If you haven’t attended live (you should have!) the keynote of Axelle Lemaire, delegate ministery for Digital in France, sponsor of the event, please do so (as soon as it’s available) as since the creation of all these events in France back in 1998, this is by far the best one. Energizing, visionnary, balanced, with a very dynamic expression, contrary to most years, nobody was sleeping in the room ! Kudos to Benjamin Jean, Jean-Christophe Elineau ad the team for getting her on stage, as I suppose it’s not an easy task, but we need more of such talented speakers. And she contributes to make +1 for women in the men/women balance in that event, which is an additional nice point.

Time to Meet at Hewlett Packard Enterprise Technology & Solutions Summit 2016 !

New company name, new event name for our presales and channel partners, but same content of quality with the best experts to transfer knowledge on everything HPE !

And this year, we’ll have a track dedicated to Open Source and Linux ! It’s a first (and hopefully not the last time it’ll be given).

So I’ll be in Cannes next week to cover:

• HP Helion Openstack 2.0: architecture and live demo – Breakout 145 – Tuesday 2nd of February 2016 – 5:40PM-6:30PM
• HPE’s Open Source Strategy – Breakout 153 – Wednesday 3rd of February 2016 – 3:00PM-3:50PM
• Linux Distributions roadmap – Breakout 154 – Thursday 4th of February 2016 – 9:30AM-10:20AM
• HPE ProLiant Gen9 value add on Linux – Hands-on Lab 24 – Thursday 4th of February 2016 – 4:45PM-6:45PM

And you should be able to meet the Geeks on Wednesday afternoon, myself included.

Other subject of interest are the breakouts 86 (Intro to open source infra automation tools), 48 (container and next gen architecture), and 151 (building an open source high perf object storage cluster with Ceph) and of course the Labs (the Redfish and UEfI ones in particular) and SuSE and Red Hat sponsor sessions. Lots to see !

For those of you wondering why project-builder.org and MondoRescue versions are not published more regularly, that gives you again a hint 😉 Not speaking of the next event in March in Grenoble, TES, where I’m part of the Event team this time.

See you there to talk of these subjects or something else as you see fit. I’m around the whole week.
