In the meantime, Matthias played with simple, asynchronous queries in JavaScript with Async.js and Achim showed how to build buffers into logs with rsyslog as Christoph discovered impress.js.

21 – 25 October was the week of the OSMC, which brought monitoring highlights and photos aplenty, plus an iOS app for environment sensors on the side.
As soon as Eva finished up her OSMC countdown with Christian Schneemann’s presentation on “Automatic Configuration of Nagios/Icinga with Agordamon”, she launched straight into the first day of the OSMC.
Dirk soon followed with his impressions of the first and second day of the OSMC, and Eva hers of the dinner and drinks in between.
To close the week, Georg took a look at enTemp, an iOS app to view HWgroup environment sensor results.

7 – 11 October was packed with events – in the lead up to the OSMC and PuppetCamp Munich, we dug into online instruction on Puppet and LConf while sharing a few Apple Mac resets on the side.
With just 15 days to the OSMC, Eva shared Mike Adolph’s presentation on “Monitoring Behavior Driven Infrastructures with Cucumber-Nagios”.
Georg rounded up interested participants for a webinar on the Icinga/Nagios configuration tool, LConf and uploaded the video promptly thereafter.
Markus announced the upcoming PuppetCamp III on 28 November in Munich while Silke unveiled our new online Puppet Fundamentals course in cooperation with the Media Linux Academy.

30 September – 4 October started a new month with tips for VM mounting and printer monitoring alongside ideas for communication in web applications and centralized office heating.
Starting the week, Eva counted 23 days to the OSMC 2013 with Ralf Döring’s presentation on “Monitoring at DB Systel” before sharing her memories and photos from the recent OpenNebula Conf 2013.
Following with sys admin tips, Achim mounted qcow2 using libguestfs tools and Markus W showed how to monitor printers via SNMP while Michael forwarded news of the latest Nagios Plugins 1.5 release.
Finally, Jannis considered the various approaches to asynchronous communication in web programs as Georg introduced a new centralized heating regulator to the office.
