[Linux-aus] Clouds, Containers and Orchestration Miniconf at LCA 2015

[Simon Lyall]

"Software defined everything," DevOps, and cloud are driving open
source further and faster than we might have imagined possible just a
decade ago. Most recently, Docker containers and orchestration have
opened up all kinds of new opportunities to develop, deploy, and
manage software from the developer's desktop well into production.

The linux.conf.au 2015 organisers are pleased to announce the Clouds,
Containers, and Orchestration miniconf at LCA in Auckland, New Zealand
during January 2015. The miniconf will focus on the open source tools
and best practices for working with cloud tools, containers, and
orchestration software (e.g., Kubernetes, Apache Mesos, geard, and
others). We'll have the leading developers working on those tools, as
well as users who are deploying them in real production environments
to share their knowledge and show where tools will be going in 2015.

Joe Brockmeier, the miniconf organiser, has a long history of
involvement with Linux and open source. Currently he works on Red
Hat's Open Source and Standards (OSAS) team, and is involved with
Project Atomic, the Fedora Project's Cloud Working Group, is a member
of the Apache Software Foundation. He is a technology journalist and
has written for ReadWriteWeb, LWN, Linux.com, Linux Magazine, Linux
Pro Magazine, ZDNet, and many others.
