UKUUG Spring 2009 Conference , here we come

On Thursday I will be giving another session of my Open Source Virtualization overview talk .. and I also...

New interesting open Source releases
In case you haven't noticed them yet ..
MySQL Proxy has a new release and moved it's public repo to Launchpad.
(Still Launchpad isn't open source yet .. a matter of time .. but in the meanwhile Jira and Confluence are sadly gaining adoption in the market)
In the devministration area there is a new Puppet module that automagically populates puppet managed machines in Zenoss , I've seen different people using Puppet to populate their Nagios configs, but adding Zenoss to the list is new.. so when will we see the Zabbix and Hyperic plugins ?
Oh yes.. and then there is Chef

Zenoss, “mail” problem ?
Funny how people call clear and obvious DNS problems a
"mail" problem.

Drupal Multimedia .. reviewed.
After reviewing the Zenoss book , Packt asked me if I would be interested in reviewing one of their fresh Drupal books, they first suggested a book on Theming but but I opted for the MultiMedia by Aaron Winborn one as Theming really isn't my cup of tee
It took me a while to get the book finished , mostly because of other priorities that kept popping up and being ill for the first week of the year .. but I finally managed
The Drupal Multimedia...

Do we want an Open Source MySQL Monitoring tool ?
Matt Reid wants to know what we want in an Open Source MySQL monitoring solution ?
He is working on the second incarnation of Monolith and wants input from the MySQL community.
Now for me the bigger question is if we want an isolated tool that runs stand alone, or a tool which we can integrate it in something we already have.
To me there is a difference between a tool that I want to use to debug my environment, such as Mytop or MySQL Activity Report, in that case I need some tool that quickly installs with little dependencies and little impact.
On the other side I want a tool that is constantly there, that tells me about trends and performance history. But there I don't want an isolated toool, I want something...

Zenoss, the Book , the review
As mentioned earlier , Packt sent me their Zenos Core Network and Systems Monitoring by Michael Badger to review.
So I spend the past couple of weeks trying to crawl my way trough it. Not that there was any problem with the book, more with my schedule :) I was hoping to finish it some time ago but time was working against me, even last week when my flight back from Zurich was a bit shorter than planned I couldn't finish reading the book.
But yesterday I managed, Michael managed to write a good book on a hot topic during what was probably one of the most...

Systems management, what will happen when the VCs want their money ?
Taurus is happy not to have VC's on his back. He doesn't want to be responsible for turning a 15 Milj investment into a 150 Milj cashout. Others chose to go that way.
Back when he wrote the article the chances were small that he already knew that Qlusters was going to be shut down with still sooo much money in the bank, but the VC's wanted it back.
So how do open source companies plan on making those tenfold roi reality.
Apart from selling out to a bigger company I think thats a very difficult task.
Especially when you keep in mind how to manage both the Open Source community and your customers. The figures he mentions that VC's require surely start...
