Last week the first edition of the Open Source Data Center conference (or OSDC) took place in Nuremberg, Germany. It was organized by Netways, who are also doing the Nagios conference. They indeed know how to organize! I was quite sick that day, and had to leave the second day for home.
Talks were mixed. I learned about Puppet, and I wish I had it during the years I was a sys-admin. Kristian gave a nice overview on how they do things at Booking.com, and bashed a bit on our MySQL Enterprise Monitor, but he’s allowed!
My talk about MySQL Cluster was apparently well received. I asked who liked beer, and all responsed. At least all were awake at the start!
I hope more folks will show up next year, if Netways is doing it again.
