Monthly Snap February 2020

Start with a laugh!

In the beginning of the month Nicole asked some of us what we found the most annoying aspect of working in an office. Not at all surprising was the most common answer: the printers! Yes, sometimes they seemingly do as they please! Read Nicole`s humorous blog on aggression at work! [Eine nicht ganz ernste] Betrachtung von Aggression am Arbeitsplatz.

#lifeatnetways

NETWAYS goes Business Cup 2020! Niko is looking forward to taking part with the NETWAYS-team and informs about this and other sports- events we will attend this year! Read about Aleksander in our blog-series NETWAYS stellt sich vor, where new members of the NETWAYS-family share a bit about themselves. How much can a company do for the environment? A group of colleagues worked on the subject and Catharina concluded with Umweltschutz a la NETWAYS.

 

Exclusion of NPD and AfD supporters from our events

The most important blog of the month was written by our very own CEO Bernd. He has changed our code of conduct to puplicly announce that we do not tolerate racism and that therefore no members or sympathizers of the AFD or NPD are welcome to any of our events. He informed the NETWAYS team in our annual meeting, and immediately got a roaring applause

OSCamp on Bareos: Let’s talk about backups!

Heterogeneous server landscapes are more the rule than the exception in many companies today. The technical requirements for software systems for data backup, archiving and recovery are increasing accordingly. What are the challenges coming with these changes? Let’s talk about it!

Let’s talk about backups at OSCamp!

CFP until end of march

The Call for Papers for the Open Source Camp (OSCamp) on Bareos is still open. Until March 31, 2020 you got the chance to submit your paper. Ideally you give a comprehensive technical insight into Bareos and offer administrators new impulses for data backup, archiving and recovery. Each presentation is scheduled for 45 minutes, including a 5 to 10-minute Q&A session. All software presented must be freely available for download and therefore meet open source standards such as GPL.
