From lca-announce at lists.linux.org.au Sun Nov 7 17:11:12 2021 From: lca-announce at lists.linux.org.au (linux.conf.au Announcements) Date: Sun, 07 Nov 2021 16:11:12 +1000 Subject: [lca-announce] linux.conf.au 2022 - Keynote: Liz Fong-Jones Message-ID: We are excited to announce that Liz Fong-Jones will be one of our keynote speakers for linux.conf.au 2022. Liz will be speaking about the ways in which we can cultivate production excellence. Taming the complex distributed systems we're responsible for requires changing not just the tools and technical approaches we use; it also requires changing who is involved in production, how they collaborate, and how we measure success. In her talk, you'll learn about several practices core to production excellence: giving everyone a stake in production, collaborating to ensure observability, measuring with Service Level Objectives, and prioritizing improvements using risk analysis. ## About Liz Fong-Jones Liz is a developer advocate, labour and ethics organizer, and Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) with over 16 years of experience. She is an advocate at Honeycomb for the SRE and Observability communities, and previously was an SRE working on products ranging from the Google Cloud Load Balancer to Google Flights. We look forward to welcoming Liz at linux.conf.au 2022. ## Main Conference Schedule Now Available!

Jono will show you how you can do this with a pragmatic framework for every step of the conflict process, giving you a clear set of tools to deal with conflict as and when it may occur. He will also go much deeper and dig into other challenging moments, whether there is conflict or not, such as mismatched expectations, uncertainty, burnout, uncertainty, company/community relations, and much more. ## About Jono Bacon Jono Bacon is a leading community and collaboration speaker, author, and podcaster.
