Mar 8 – 12 offered updates for HW group network thermometers and Starface checks, a few reflections on consulting work and a reminder to early birds to join the OSDC soon.
Hardware man Martin announced the latest firmware for HW group Hwg-STE network thermometers, version 1.12, with improved stability, a graphing feature and an online demo to boot. Meanwhile Birger tipped off the updated check_starface.pl for version 4 of Starface’s voice appliance, available under GPL at monitoringexchange.org and netways.org.
Birger then shared a little about himself, his views on open source entering the mainstream and his consulting work at NETWAYS. From large scale monitoring at Bosch to high tech television monitoring at Deutsche Welle, Birger reflected that the variety and freedom to create concepts for different customers was what he enjoyed most. To support, he added a few photos from his recent consulting trip to Stryker in Duisburg where medical tech met monitoring and hearty pork knuckles.
From the events team, Manuela reminded us that the early bird catches the discount for the Open Source Data Center Conference. From the 23rd to 24th of June exciting presentations not to be missed include Baron Schwartz on Optimizing MySQL and InnoDB Performance, Florian Haas on High Availability and Storage Replication and Michael Schlenzka on Delivering New, Powerful Reporting Solutions with Open Source Business Intelligence. Not to mention the guarantee that football fans will be catered for when Germany takes on Ghana- there’s no reason not to book early.
