Unconference Stuff to discuss in groups

Open source & Cloud Computing - Raph Bauduin
What are open source powered clouds worth without open data?
Does cloud computing bring new lock-ins?
AGPLv3: the best or worst license for cloud providers?

Cloud Computing for Service Providers - Arvid Fossen
How accessible is Cloud Computing today to Service Providers?
How difficult is making the mind shift from hardware to the cloud?
What are the expectations on new systems on cloud computing?
Are there applications that will never make it to the Cloud?
Are there sectors that have legal or security issues to solve before moving to a cloud?
In what timeframe do we expect to become cloud computing the major revenue driver for Service providers?

IT Management in the Cloud - John Willis
How is systems management different in the cloud for tools like monitoring, configuration, and provisioning. Open source products like Puppet, Nagios, and other well known solutions are being used to solve cloud infrastructure management. An open dialog on what works and what doesn't work might be interesting.

Cloud Computing for Pros - Tarry Singh
Pricing in the Cloud – elastic Pricing Model
Global Delivery Model and Cloud Apps - How to deliver apps globally

Cloud Computing for dummies - Tom Leyden
What is Cloud computing?
Cloud Terminology
What is the difference between public and private clouds?
Is cloud Computing so much more effective?
Who offers cloud Computing and in what form?

Building Private Clouds - Niko Nelissen
How to calculate ROI of a cloud implementation
Primary goals and benefits of an in-house cloud
How to perform internal usage based billing to business units (ABC costing)
Ability to extend the private cloud to a public cloud (e.g. for extra capacity or DR)
Greenfield deployment or cloud-enabling existing infrastructure ?

Universal Management Cloud Toolkit - Matt Rechenburg
How much automation needs a cloud ?
Which hypervisors do you see in private and public clouds ?
How many (and which) utilities do you need to manage a cloud ?
What is the status of open-source cloud computing projects ?

Security: VMware Workstation 6 vulnerability

vulnerable software: VMware Workstation 6.0 for Windows, possible some other VMware products as well type of vulnerability: DoS, potential privilege escalation I found a vulnerability in VMware Workstation 6.0 which allows an unprivileged user in the host OS to crash the system and potentially run arbitrary code with kernel privileges. The issue is in the vmstor-60 driver, which is supposed to mount VMware images within the host OS. When sending the IOCTL code FsSetVoleInformation with subcode FsSetFileInformation with a large buffer and underreporting its size to at max 1024 bytes, it will underrun and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Splunk that!

Saw this advert on Slashdot and went on to look for it and found the tour pretty neat to look at. Check out the demo too! So why would I need it? WHY NOT? I'd say. As an organization grows , new services, new data comes by, new logs start accumulating on the servers and it becomes increasingly difficult to look at all those logs, leave alone that you'd have time to read them and who cares about analysis as the time to look for those log files already makes your day, isn't it? Well a solution like this is a cool option to have your sysadmins/operators look at ONE PLACE and thus you don't have your administrators lurking around in your physical servers and *accidentally* messing up things there. Go ahead and give it a shot by downloading it and testing it. I'll give it a shot myself! Ok so I went ahead and installed it. Do this... [root@tarrydev Software]# ./splunk-Server-1.0.1-linux-installer.bin to install and this (if you screw up) [root@tarrydev Software]# /op

Virtualization is hot and sexy!

If this does not convince you to virtualize, believe me, nothing will :-) As you will hear these gorgeous women mention VMware, Akkori, Pano Logic, Microsoft and VKernel. They forgot to mention rackspace ;-) virtualization girl video I'm convinced, aren't you? Check out their site as well!
